Mechanisms of neoliberal resilience: comparing exchange rates and industrial policy in Chile and Estonia

Abstract: The global financial crisis has stimulated much research about the resilience of neoliberalism. However, concrete mechanisms of neoliberal resilience are yet to be elaborated. This article elaborates such mechanisms by incorporating Amable's notion of institutional hierarchy into Mahoney and Thelen's gradual institutional change theory. In doing this, it provides a dynamic and politically grounded framework to analyze institutional resilience. Neoliberalism is maintained over time because dominant social blocs… Show more

“…Though sweeping governance reforms and anticorruption efforts have sought to stamp out predatory informal rules within the state apparatus, such campaigns, more often than not, produce little substantive change, particularly in developing contexts that lack the bureaucratic means to implement reforms (Bersch 2019;Schneider and Heredia 2003;Persson et al 2013). Indeed, while "punctuated equilibrium" models treat such reforms as critical junctures that produce institutional change, in the weak institutional environments of the developing world, these moments are often more conducive to institutional resilience and stability, allowing the prevailing rules to solidify or even deepen (Levitsky and Murillo 2013, 94;Madariaga 2017;Goldsmith 2017). But despite these patterns, there have been few scholarly efforts to understand how these moments serve as sites of institutional stability and the precise mechanisms through which existing institutional arrangements outlast governance reforms.…”

“…así, la sedimentación tiene mayor flexibilidad y abre el espacio conceptual para tratar el cambio más allá de la oposición entre cambio incremental y paradigmático. sin embargo, deja pendiente un problema que ha sido advertido recientemente para algunas políticas neoliberales, que es la relevancia del cambio que se produce (Madariaga, 2017). en efecto, en algunos casos se pueden generar nuevas medidas que no alcanzan a producir más que un cambio superficial, estrictamente formal pero no sustantivo.…”

“…otro punto muy importante y específico de las políticas neoliberales para ver si el cambio es o no significativo, es si los intereses de los incumbentes se ven afectados. en efecto, en el cambio adaptativo, los intereses de los incumbentes se preservan, lo que no debería sorprender, ya que a veces ellos mismos son los proponentes o al menos inspiradores de estas modificaciones (Madariaga, 2017). Por lo tanto, una hibridación ocurre cuando se modifican los actores de mercado con los cuales se relaciona el estado a través de esta política, lo que inevitablemente afecta a los incumbentes.…”

“…Recebido: 23-02-2019 Aprovado: 21-04-2019 Aldo Madariaga 1 El surgimiento del neoliberalismo ha sido un fenómeno ampliamente estudiado, no así su continuidad en el tiempo (Madariaga, 2018). Buena parte de la literatura en economía política de los años ochenta y noventa se dedicó a estudiar la emergencia del neoliberalismo y las fuerzas detrás de su implementación (e.g.…”

Más aún, a pesar de las muchas correcciones introducidas a lo largo de los años, la continuidad de los pilares básicos de la política económica heredados de la dictadura de Pinochet se mantienen incólumes (ver entre otros, Madariaga, 2017;Silva, 1996;Solimano, 2012;Taylor, 2006;Weyland, 1999). Los gráficos 1 y 2, muestran dos medidas de continuidad del neoliberalismo, el índice de progresión de las reformas económicas elaborado por el BID y el índice de libertad económica elaborado por la conservadora Fundación Heritage.…”
