Description
Democracy in Latin America offers an insight into the democratic processes and institutions in Latin and Central America.
It analyses the different political systems and the challenges they face from the Left and popular movements. Lievesley questions how deeply democracy is embedded in Latin and Central America and asks what constitutes citizenship in political cultures that remain highly differentiated in terms of the structures and relations of power.
She does this through an evaluation of the two distinct perspectives of democracy: the liberal pacted and the radical participatory models. Established political systems, those in transition from military to civilian rule, and Socialist systems are viewed through the prism of these two models.
The inter-relationship between state, military, political parties, and popular movements is examined with a view to determining the possibility of the emergence of a new politicsβone that would be inclusive rather than exclusionary and would pursue social justice.
The book will provide a stimulating assessment of the region's politics for undergraduates and will provoke debate for postgraduates.
