His work is indebted to the intense debates regarding theories of modernization, developmentalism, and dependence that took place in Latin American intellectual and political circles. These theoretical sources were present as a cognitive horizon in his essential writings, and many of the central concerns that enlivened his oeuvre arose from his intellectual immersion in these deliberations.

This anthology, which includes the first translations into English of three of his most outstanding works can guide our readers, like Ariadne’s thread, through the intellectual output of this great thinker. It should also be said that these writings contain some of the most intellectually stimulating approaches to political sociology written in Latin America. Published between the 1980s and the first decade of the 2000s, the texts cover a span of more than thirty years during which the author developed a very personal vision as he sought to understand politics in a different way. 2024-01-02T12:43:42Z 2024-01-02T12:43:42Z 2023 book 9781951634377 9781951634391 9781951634407 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/86359 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International on-democratic-politics.pdf https://doi.org/10.25154/book12 Latin America Research Commons 10.25154/book12 10.25154/book12 7bb6503b-ca4e-418b-905d-205dc2692bbb 9781951634377 9781951634391 9781951634407 353 Pittsburgh open access
