Deepening Democracy: Global Governance and Political Reform in Latin America

Adams surveys the impact of transnational organizations and NGOs on Latin American politics since 1990. The transition from military to civilian rule in Latin American countries has benefited local progressive forces, but resilient remnants favoring the past's authoritarian politics have compelled organizations like the UN, IMF, OAS, and World Bank to engage in various campaigns to deepen democratic institutions and norms. Adams argues that to understand current political transformations in the region, one must consider the existing role of external organizations. Latin America is offered as a prime example of the increased influence transnational authorities have over political decisions that had long been the exclusive prerogative of national governments.
Beginning with the Latin American experience, Adams reviews the contemporary character of power and politics in the area, outlining how democratic transitions have been limited. UN human rights and reform initiatives are considered. Adams scrutinizes the work of the World Bank, the IMF, and the Inter-American Development Bank to modernize public administration, strengthen political institutions, enhance transparency and accountability, and fortify civil society. He also examines the work and impact and the Organization of American States and various global citizens groups.

The United Nations has increased its worldwide efforts to promote sustainable development. In this book, noted scholar Francis Adams examines the United Nations' actions in Latin America, particularly in light of meeting basic human needs, promoting gender equity, and preserving natural environments. While previous books have focused on a single UN agency, this book is the first to analyze the development work of various UN institutions and agencies that sponsor economic and social programs in the developing world as well as the UN's various funding initiatives, global conferences, and institutional goals. This book will be a necessary addition for students and scholars of Latin American politics and Development.

Henry Abbott is growing up in South Trenton, New Jersey during the 1960s. He attends St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic school and sells newspapers on Sunday at his father's service station. He meets Danny, who leads him on an adventure to the abandoned Bow Hill mansion, where Napoleon Bonaparte's brother, Joseph, the King of Spain, had once lived with his beloved, Anette, a commoner who worked in a tie shop in Philadelphia. Her ghost is rumored to haunt the estate in search of her lost ring. A floundering basketball player, Hank plays on the school team, along with his younger brother Jeremy, because his father, Joe, is the team coach. The Abbott family moves to the suburb to care for Henry's grandmother, and his enrolls in the public school system. He meets Jack Malloy, an eccentric English teacher who conducts his film study class like a major Hollywood studio. Henry learns the art of filmmaking when he joins the Filmnuts. The Filmnuts congregate in the Nutroom, a teacher's prep room attached to Malloy's classroom, preparing their Super-8 films for the June festival assembly. He meets Pharo, who first bullies and then befriends Henry, and Jane, an artist whose creative talents he admires.
