Latin America on the move
Latin America is on the move. Newly elected governments in nine countries have rejected the past failed solutions to the problems of poverty, inequality, exclusion, and social justice. Political leaders are seeking new approaches to replace the neo-liberal policies of the Washington Consensus.
This book presents views about the direction of change of five Latin American political leaders. Each essay places the immediate and longer term challenges facing their countries in historical context. These challenges are presented in their own voices, unmediated by the North American press. Together they form a whole, representing a step towards what one leader has described: “in Latin America, integration is a destiny”.

Building Bicentennials: Argentina
This is a book of multiple voices. Its 32 authors think about the sense, the challenge and options, memories and expectations that the bicentennial presents. They are voices of historians, architects, philosophers, scientists, professors, public dignitaries, social workers, politicians and young people. They cover current problems, diverse aspects of the memory of the past and project that memory onto the bicentennial horizon. The 23 Argentine authors, two Latin American, three European, one Hindi, and three American, cross their internal views with those from the outside, offering a texture of difference and not of the homogeneity.

Argentina in Collapse? The Americas Debate
This book examines the recent economic and political collapse of Argentina from an interdisciplinary and transcontinental perspective.

The case of Argentina is significant for the countries of Latin America and the world, in order to learn its lessons for building a more sustainable future. IN this book, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz analyzes the convergence of mismanagement of national economic policy in Argentina, the pressures of the global economy, and the misguided advice of international institutions.
