Understanding development in Latin America today requires both an awareness of the major political and economic changes that have produced a new agenda for social policy in the region and an appreciation of the need to devise better conceptual and methodological tools for analyzing the social impact of these changes. Using as a reference point the issues and theories that dominated social science research on Latin America in the period 196080, this volume contributes to rethinking development by examining the historical events that accounted for the erosion or demise of oncedominant paradigms and by assessing the new directions of research that have emerged in their place.Following the editors overview of the new conceptual and social agendas in their Introduction, the book proceeds with a review of previous broad conceptual approaches by Alejandro Portes, who emphasizes by contrast the advantages of newer middlerange theories. Subsequent chapters focus on changes in different arenas and the concepts and methods used to interpret them: Globalization, Neoliberalism, and Social Policy; Citizenship, Politics, and the State; Work, Families, and Reproduction; and Urban Settlements, Marginality, and Social Exclusion.Contributors, besides the editors, are Marina Ariza and Orlandina de Oliveira, Diane Davis, Vilmar Faria, Joe Foweraker, Elizabeth Jelin, Alejandro Portes, Joe Potter and Rudolfo Tuirn, Juan Pablo Prez Sinz, Osvaldo Sunkel, and Peter Ward.
