    Summary note
    This much-expanded and updated second edition of Democratic Latin America takes an institutional approach to Latin America politics to discuss contemporary politics and to highlight how past politics have shaped current institutional designs. It draws explicit connections between certain political features - such as fragmentation, efficiency, accountability, instability, consensus, or responsiveness - and the instiutional design of a country. Students thus learn not only that a country is unstable or has high rates of participation or low levels of corruption, but they also learn why. And more importantly, they also learn how politics can be shaped by differenct institutional arrangements. -- Publisher
