Edited by the late Jilberto (formerly, international relations, U. of Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and Hogenboom (political science, Center for Latin American Research and Documentation, the
Netherlands) this volume presents ten chapters examining recent developments in political and economic relations between China and Latin America. It includes chapters that focus on the
relationship in the individual cases of Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and the Central American region, bookended by editor-authored chapters addressing what
Chinese-Latin American relations might tell us about contemporary South-South relations in general and the possibility that the neoliberal, market-dominated "Washington consensus" model of
economic development is giving way to the "Beijing consensus" of greater state involvement. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
