转型拉丁美洲：变革的国际和国内根源。作者：Craig Arceneaux和David Pion-Berlin。匹兹堡：匹兹堡大学出版社，2005。280便士。27.95美元。在这本书中，Craig Arceneaux和David Pion-Berlin研究了国际影响对拉丁美洲国家政策变化的影响。正如作者正确指出的那样，“关于拉丁美洲政治变革的学术研究对那些寻求国内和国际力量相对影响的答案的人提供的指导很少”（第29页）。这个雄心勃勃的项目试图解释国际行动者影响政府决策的条件，以及政府政策在多大程度上受外国势力的影响。为此，他们提出了一种“问题导向分析”，试图确定与政策变化相关的重要行为者、能力和影响模式。这本书对外国对国内政策决定的影响进行了令人振奋的概述，但它对拉丁美洲政策改革文献的贡献有限。
Transforming Latin America: The International and Domestic Origins of Change. By Craig Arceneaux and David Pion-Berlin. Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2005. 280p. $27.95. In this book, Craig Arceneaux and David Pion-Berlin examine the impact of international influences on policy change in Latin American countries. As the authors correctly point out, “the scholarship on political change in Latin America provides little direction for those seeking answers to the relative impact of domestic and international forces” (p. 29). This ambitious project seeks to explain the conditions under which international actors influence governmental decisions, as well as the degree to which government policies are or are not shaped by foreign forces. To this end, they advance an “issue-guided analysis” that attempts to identify the important actors, capabilities, and modes of influence associated with policy change. The book offers a stimulating overview of foreign influences in domestic policy decisions, yet its contribution to the literature on policy reform in Latin America is limited.
