It produced a changing political and economic environment, where democracy provided challengers with expanding political opportunities but globalization precipitated economic threats to livelihoods and human welfare. This changing environment removed the state from modes of political representation, such as urban labor movements and their affiliated mass-party organizations, while unleashing more pluralistic, heterogenous, and decentralized patterns of popular representation. Reducing its role in production, the state became mostly a regulator of economic activities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArce and Wada's volume examines the consequences of democracy and globalization on popular protests in Latin America, theorizing a broad shift of popular politics involving reactive and proactive mobilizations. A collaboration of sixteen distinguished scholars with different specializations (economists, historians, sociologists, and political scientists) in both the Global North and South, the volume provides a unique collection of studies of protest events in ten Latin American countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Venezuela.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisés Arce \u003c\/b\u003eis the Scott and Marjorie Cowen Chair in Latin American Social Sciences and a professor in the Department of Political Science at Tulane University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTakeshi Wada\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Department of Area Studies and the director of the Latin American and Iberian Network for Academic Collaboration (LAINAC) at the University of Tokyo.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 16, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439992004710,"sku":"9780826368836","price":72.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/PkI_cZmBu9780826368836.webp?v=1775998229","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/popular-politics-and-protest-event-analysis-in-latin-america-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
