Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume interprets the Ecuadorian transition to civilian rule following a prolonged period of military dictatorship (1972-79), and assesses the difficulties posed by efforts to consolidate democracy during the decade that followed. It focuses on civilian opposition to the policies of the regime and international factionalism within the armed forces in explaining the military's decision to withdraw from power. It also considers the weakness of political institutions, the worsening economic crisis and the perceived success of the military dictatorship in accounting for the problems of democratic governance during the 1980s. There are interviews with military officers giving firsthand insights, and a case study that offers insight into theorizing about transitions.
