Beschreibung
This edited volume studies the relationship between big business and the Latin American dictatorial regimes during the Cold War. The first section provides a general background about the contemporary history of business corporations and dictatorships in the twentieth century at the international level. The second section comprises chapters that analyze five national cases (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Peru), as well as a comparative analysis of the banking sector in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay). The third section presents six case studies of large companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Central America. This book is crucial reading because it provides the first comprehensive analysis of a key yet understudied topic in Cold War history in Latin America.

“Big Business and Dictatorships in Latin America represents not only a praiseworthy collaboration between scholars based in Latin America, the United States, and Europe but also a truly interdisciplinary and richly documented investigative effort to provide new knowledge and, perhaps more importantly, directions and perspectives for future work in the field. … Big Business and Dictatorships in Latin America fulfills its promise to provide an interdisciplinary collective analysis of corporate interests and dictatorships.” (Rafael R. Ioris, Hispanic American Historical Review, Vol. 102 (3), 2022)
