Reshaping the Political Arena in Latin America es una obra colectiva que propone una reflexión sistemática y comparada sobre cómo se redefinieron las organizaciones de los sectores populares, cuáles fueron sus aliados políticos y cómo se transformaron sus disputas e intereses en la arena política.-- "Iberoamericana"
Silva and Rossi deploy the idea of political incorporation as their overarching framework. They take up the baton from Ruth Berins Collier and David Collier's pioneering work on the populist phase in Latin America from the 1930s to the 1960s (during which popular sectors, specifically organized labor, were brought within the body politic), to argue that the pink tide represents a 'second wave of incorporation, ' a response to the marginalization of rural and urban popular sectors from spheres of governmental decision-making under neoliberalism.-- "Latin American Research Review"
This volume offers the most systematic account to date on how political incorporation was approached and carried out during the Latin American region's turn to the left. Rossi and Silva have done a masterful job at structuring the analysis, while recruiting a dream team of experts to conduct comparisons across time and countries. The breathtaking theoretical and empirical scope of this volume, as well as its careful analysis of the possible legacies of different incorporation regimes, will make it a must-read for scholars interested in 'big questions' that engage politics and the political sociology of the region for years to come.-- "Juan Pablo Luna, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile"
