Abstract

This chapter undertakes an empirical analysis based on quantitative and qualitative data to discover the patterns of support and opposition to neoliberalism in two concrete policy domains: exchange rate and industrial policies. It provides an understanding of neoliberalism as a political project based on the gradual and purposeful erosion of democracy. It also connects economic and political actors with their policy preferences and political behavior. The chapter describes patterns of support and opposition to concrete policies that reveal whether certain countries maintained their neoliberal trajectories or switched to alternatives as they contested or even dismantled neoliberalism. It gives a regression analysis based on historical data from different countries and investigates which economic actors demanded and supported the implementation and continuity of neoliberal policies.
