Publisher's Synopsis
Transcending Neoliberalism examines the dynamics of change in Latin America arising out of the search for alternative forms of development. Over the past two decades, in the context of an epoch-defining process of globalization, a form of development has emerged that moves beyond the neoliberal focus on both market and state - one that reaches back for ideas into communities that have been created within rural and urban societies of developing and developed areas. The dynamics of this search both in theory and practice are complex. Editors Henry Veltmeyer and Anthony O'Malley have constructed a volume with contributions from top scholars, framed by essays exploring critical dimensions of the community-based economic development process.
