A landmark work in Latin American political studies, The Politics of Conformity in Latin America presents a compelling collection of essays examining the deep-rooted social, political, and economic forces that have shaped the region's resistance to fundamental change. Edited by the distinguished Chilean intellectual Claudio Veliz, the volume brings together leading scholars to argue that Latin America's political culture is defined by a persistent tendency toward centralism, hierarchy, and institutional conformity rather than revolutionary transformation. Each contribution dissects a different dimension of this phenomenon — from agrarian structures and industrialisation to the role of the Church and the military — illustrating how these forces collectively perpetuate the status quo. Published under the auspices of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the anthology stands as an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the political dynamics of twentieth-century Latin America.
