Abstract
Is Latin America ‘navigating in the fog’, as bluntly put by Whitehead (2009) or is the recourse to the metaphor an easy way to make sense of contradictions when ‘light’ is not shed by the torch of an external marshal? The issue deserves to be evaluated in its own right. The contributors of this book painted a complex and subtle picture of the politics and development strategies and options of countries advancing conscious attempts to redefine the rules of the game at many levels of authority, nationally and regionally. More than a decade into the political economy of Latin America, we can certainly talk about a change of era that despite real limitations on policy making, external and internal, managing the national economy and the challenge of global integration have been turned into ways unthought of 10 years ago.
