Abstract
Comparative scholarship on business-government relations and development now constitutes a rich and diverse field. Much of this literature focuses on macro political issues of pro-growth alliances and coalitions, usually forged under conditions of threat and vulnerability (Doner, Ritchie, et al. 2005; Kohli 2004). This book has not engaged much these broader theories in part because the issues in Latin America are less visible chronic afflictions of slow growth, low investment, and laggard productivity rather than severe crisis and threat. However, it is important to remember how effective crises were in motivating business and government to work together in a range of success cases from Japan to Korea to Denmark and Finland (Ornston 2012). The challenge in the new developmentalist policies in Latin America is to encourage business-government collaboration in relatively good times (though no longer the great times of the 2000s).
