In addition to providing an overview of this key element of the Latin American political economy, Peter Kingstone also advances the argument that both state-led and market-led solutions depend on effective institutions, but little is known about how and why they emerge. Kingstone offers a unique contribution by mapping out the problem of how to understand institutions, why they are created, and why Latin American ones limit democratic development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis timely and thorough update includes: 　　\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA fresh discussion of the commodity boom in the region and the resulting \"Golden Era\" in Latin America;　\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe recent explosion of social policy innovation and concerns about the durability of social reform after the boom;　\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA discussion of the knowledge economy and the limits to economic growth, with case studies of successful examples of fostering innovation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Kingstone\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Politics and Development and co-founder of the Department of International Development (with Andy Sumner) at King's College London.
