This book was released on 1989 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South America has experienced dramatic political changes during the last decade. Almost all the military regimes established during the 1960s and 1970s have made room for democratically elected governments. The end of the last authoritarian cycle and the initiation of a democratization process have produced a vigorous debate among experts in South American politics about the present chances for the consolidation of democracy in the Southern Cone. Can we consider the current process of democratization as marking a historical end of authoritarian rule in the region? Or are we simply witnessing a mere democratic intermezzo, after which authoritarianism will recover its longstanding supremacy within South American political development? This book constitutes a general introduction to the role of the State in the current process of democratization in the Southern Cone region. It offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of the various problems with which the recent democratic governments have been confronted. A central focus of attention is the role played by the state and its institutions in the elimination of the authoritarian legacy and in the construction of a democratic polity.

Book Synopsis State, Labor, Capital by : Paul G. Buchanan
Download or read book State, Labor, Capital written by Paul G. Buchanan and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized labor has played a critical role in political transition away from authoritarianism in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Buchanan views the institutional networks where these new governments strive to maintain democracy, focusing on the role of national labor administrations.This book argues that because democratic capitalist regimes are founded on a state-mediated class compromise, institutionalizing labor relations is a major concern. Institutions that foster equitable labor-management bargaining are at the foundation of workers' acquiescence to bourgeois rule.
Book Synopsis Bounded Missions by : Craig L. Arceneaux
Download or read book Bounded Missions written by Craig L. Arceneaux and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars of Latin American politics have been challenged to account for the varied outcomes of the transitions from authoritarian to democratic government that have occurred in many countries south of the border during the past two decades. What explains why some transitions were relatively smooth, with the military firmly in control of the process, while others witnessed substantial concessions by the military to civilian leaders, or even total military collapse? Rather than focus on causes external to the military, such as the previous legacy of democratic rule, severe economic crisis, or social protest, as other scholars have done, Craig Arceneaux draws attention to the important variables internal to the military, such as its unity or ability to coordinate strategy. Using this &"historical-institutionalist&" approach, he compares five different transitions in Brazil and three countries of the Southern Cone&—Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay&—to show what similarities and differences existed and how the differences may be attributed to variations in the internal institutional structure and operation of the military.
Book Synopsis Barrio Democracy in Latin America by : Eduardo Canel
Download or read book Barrio Democracy in Latin America written by Eduardo Canel and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to democracy underway in Latin America since the 1980s has recently witnessed a resurgence of interest in experimenting with new forms of local governance emphasizing more participation by ordinary citizens. The hope is both to foster the spread of democracy and to improve equity in the distribution of resources. While participatory budgeting has been a favorite topic of many scholars studying this new phenomenon, there are many other types of ongoing experiments. In Barrio Democracy in Latin America, Eduardo Canel focuses our attention on the innovative participatory programs launched by the leftist government in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the early 1990s. Based on his extensive ethnographic fieldwork, Canel examines how local activists in three low-income neighborhoods in that city dealt with the opportunities and challenges of implementing democratic practices and building better relationships with sympathetic city officials.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Military Politics by : Alfred C. Stepan
Download or read book Rethinking Military Politics written by Alfred C. Stepan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last four years have seen a remarkable resurgence of democracy in the Southern Cone of the Americas. Military regimes have been replaced in Argentina (1983), Uruguay (1985), and Brazil (1985). Despite great interest in these new democracies, the role of the military in the process of transition has been under-theorized and under-researched. Alfred Stepan, one of the best-known analysts of the military in politics, examines some of the reasons for this neglect and takes a new look at themes raised in his earlier work on the state, the breakdown of democracy, and the military. The reader of this book will gain a fresh understanding of new democracies and democratic movements throughout the world and their attempts to understand and control the military. An earlier version of this book has been a controversial best seller in Brazil. To examine the Brazilian case, the author uses a variety of new archival material and interviews, with comparative data from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Spain. Brazilian military leaders had consolidated their hold on governmental power by strengthening the military-crafted intelligence services, but they eventually found these same intelligence systems to be a formidable threat. Professor Stepan explains how redemocratization occurred as the military reached into the civil sector for allies in its struggle against the growing influence of the intelligence community. He also explores dissension within the military and the continuing conflicts between the military and the civilian government.

Book Synopsis Democratic Latin America by : Craig L. Arceneaux
Download or read book Democratic Latin America written by Craig L. Arceneaux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Democratic Latin America retains its classic institutional approach to understand contemporary Latin American politics. Each chapter focuses on a different institution and compares how they are constructed differently across countries. Placing a premium on accessibility, the chapters open with a story and end with a detailed country case study, making use of contemporary examples to feed student interest in current events, with comparison-based tables and box features interspersed throughout to stimulate analysis. Every chapter finishes with a set of questions and recommended readings. This approach allows for a very practical approach to politics that encourages critical analysis. Updates to this new edition include: updated comparison-based tables and box features to stimulate analysis; new "Country in the Spotlight" to include developments unique to each country; and discussions on political change in Cuba, indigenous peoples and political power, neopopulism, impeachment procedures, transitional justice, the 2019 protests, the new militarism, the mobilization of women against violence, LGBT rights, the evangelical movement, and the Colombian peace process. A clear-eyed look at political institutions to provide a roadmap to the political activity in a country, Democratic Latin America continues to offer an original way of teaching and learning about Latin American politics.
