Publisher's Synopsis
In this important book, Leonardo Mello E Silva draws on extensive research from across Latin America to chart the development of labour reforms and explore what influence the state still has on labour reform policies within individual countries. With a special focus on the region's largest economy, Brazil, and with case studies including Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Uruguay, the book explores the concept of 'Brazilianization' across the continent and what influence this and other BRIC nations have, not just within Latin America but across the Global South.
