In this article, it is argued that the roots of the regimes that embraced neoliberalism in Latin America can be traced back to what Guillermo O'Donnell called the Authoritarian Bureaucratic State (ABS) and the so- called Transitions to Democracy. We argue that the historical emergence of the neoliberal project can be found in the framework of political economic interests described by O'Donnell in the ABS and in the transitions to democracy that allowed the rise of political and economic elites favorable to neoliberal reforms. It is also argued that the intra-elite pacts that supported the transitions to democracy were insufficient to achieve a deep democratization.
