However, in other countries such as Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru continuity and even extension of the neoliberal agenda have been the norm.\u003cbr\u003e What were the consequences of rejecting the neoliberal consensus in Latin America? Why did some countries stay on the neoliberal course? Contributors to \u003ci\u003eLatin America Since the Left Turn\u003c\/i\u003e address these questions and more as they frame the tensions and contradictions that currently characterize Latin American societies and politics. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an examination of the political economy, from models of development, to taxation and spending patterns, to regionalization of trade and human migration. The second section analyzes the changes in democracy and political identities. The last part explores the themes of citizenship, constitutionalism, and new forms of civic participation. With essays by the foremost scholars in the field, \u003ci\u003eLatin America Since the Left Turn\u003c\/i\u003e not only delves into the cases of specific countries but also surveys the region as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e: Isabella AlcaÑiz, Sandra Botero, Marcella Cerrutti, George Ciccariello-Maher, Tula G.
