Latin American Policy just published the review that I made of @llschenoni.bsky.social's outstanding book Brinking War Back In: Victory, Defeat, and the State in Nineteenth‐Century Latin America.
Here is a thread of the review.
The book tests the war-state capacity link in the region. (1/7)

@llschenoni.bsky.social. If your are into states and development (in and beyond Latin America), you have to read it!
The book is theoretically ambitious and has a clever and brilliant research design. (1/4)

New publication on HPE on State Capacity in Latin America! Daniel Baquero (not in Blsky yet) and I recently wrote a review of recent books on State Formation and State Building, and tried to extract idea on how this literature could move forward (with a focus on Latin America). (1/4)
