内容説明

A leading text for more than 40 Years, Latin American Politics and Development has helped instructors and students stay abreast of current affairs in Latin America since 1979. Chapters written by leading authorities on each country in Latin America, something unique in the field and praised by reviewers. In addition to coverage of Middle, Central, and South America, includes coverage of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti in the Caribbean. Contextual Background: Chapters 1-7, written by the two editors, provide an essential foundation for understanding the context of Latin American politics and patterns of historical development. No obvious or overbearing political bias, which is unusual in texts on Latin American politics. The wide selection of countries included in Parts 2 and 3 allows students to explore more countries than typically covered. Writing throughout the book to be approachable and perfectly appropriate for an undergraduate audience. It is not laden with jargon, and concepts are explained well.
