Description and Table of Contents
Description
Why is there so much discontent with democracy across Latin America? Are regimes being judged by unrealistic standards of success - or is there legitimate cause for criticism in light of widespread failures to deliver either transparency or effective public policies? Addressing these questions across a variety of dimensions, the authors explore the diverse ways in which the specific nature of Latin American democracy explains the current performance of the region's democratic governments.
