Note(s) : "The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central
theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public
institutions are an important (some would argue the most important) determinant of
long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties
and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze
previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides
a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America
and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries
and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century
- without much success. The chapters discuss key processes and challenges of state
building. To what extent do historical legacies determine the capacity and reach of
stat es? What are the obstacles to and paths toward the effective consolidation of
public authority? How can states best design and create the institutions meant to
provide the basic services now associated with citizenship? How can we put together
notions of community that include diverse groups and cultures within a single identity,
while also respecting the integrity of particular traditions? The Spanish and Latin
American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage
on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced.
This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary
outcome of those state and nation building projects". - Bibliogr. p. 417-453. Index
