9781442636927: Latin American Politics: An Introduction

Synopsis

Latin American Politics is aimed at Latin American politics courses offered out of political science departments at the second- and third-year levels. Unlike many texts in this area, which tend to take a country-by-country approach, this book takes a thematic approach and covers such topics as Latin America's history, violence, democracy, and political economy. This approach is self-consciously comparative and encourages students to develop stronger comparative analysis skills.

Fully updated and revised, this second edition includes a new chapter on parties, elections, and movements. Each chapter is now framed by a prologue and an epilogue to engage readers and provide more country-specific content.
