    (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) Jiménez Seminario, Gonzalo; Hugo Gaggiotti,; Lucero Bringas, María de los Ángeles; Adelopo, Ismail; Díaz Le-Fort, Magdalena; Bernal, Andrés; Rojas, Catalina; Mora, Michelle; Zegers Ruiz-Tagle, Matías; Meza Morales, Carla Beatriz; Mendes Aldrighi, Dante; Kabbach de Castro, Luiz Ricardo; Eulalia Sanín; Pardo Aragón, Óscar Armando; Ramírez-Solís, Edgar Rogelio; Baños-Monroy, Verónica Ilián; Sandoval, Fernando; Díaz Ortega, Enrique; Jiménez Seminario, Gonzalo; Callund, Jonathan; Pyper, Neil
    Grounded in institutional theories, this volume offers a framework for understanding the evolution of corporate governance in the six leading Latin American countries, namely Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Applying inductive qualitative methods, it postulates the notion of governing as a dynamic, emergent and contextual process and traces its evolution and adaption to the different configurations of institutional logics in each country and the region as a whole over several decades. Adopting corporate governance scandals as the lens through which to observe institutional change in each country, this book reveals the sources of societal transformations, identifying key lessons as well as meaningful setbacks along the way. This edited collection helps appreciate the role and interactions of corporate elites, stakeholders and watchdogs, including the visible hands of government and multinational corporations, presenting comparisons across the countries, the region and the broader evolution of governing practices around the globe. The result is a book combining scholarly rigor and practical relevance, looking to serve as an emerging markets benchmark guide for practitioners, researchers and thinktanks alike.

    The Politics of the Elite: Ideological Orientations, Mothering, and Social Mobilities in Neoliberal Chile
    (Taylor and Francis, 2023) Gayo, Modesto; Méndez Layera, María Luisa
    This book is a study of class formation at the top of the social hierarchies during the turbulent and changing early twenty-first century. Contrary to perceptions that privileged individuals exist according to little more than market and economic logics, the book provides evidence that they are by no means absent from politics and civic engagement. Adopting a focus on reproduction, distinction, and politics, it delves into the complex relationship between cohesion and fragmentation that exists within the most privileged groups formed over the course of the contemporary neoliberal period. By knitting a dialogue between spatial analysis, multiple correspondence analysis, and in-depth interviews, the book provides insights into the intricate relations between institutions and political subjectivities, and the role of space and mothering in the political socialisation of Chile’s most privileged families. The result is a dense description of a social class fragmented by subtle ideological lines based upon economic inheritance, socialisation within homogeneous family environments, paths into the labour market, and social and political activities. This book will constitute a much-needed research resource for academics, students, and professionals in areas such as elite studies, social stratification, inequality, social reproduction, accumulation, political socialisation, and contemporary conservative/progressive views.
