Description

Between Tyranny and Anarchy provides a unique comprehensive history and interpretation of efforts to establish democracies over two centuries in the major Latin American countries. Drake takes an odd interdisciplinary approach, combining history and political science with an emphasis on political institutions. He argues that, without a thorough examination of the historical roots and causes of Latin American democracy, most general theories can not adequately give an explanation for its failures, successes, and forms. Latin The united states offers an peculiar laboratory for the study of democratic experiments. Alongside a well-deserved reputation for authoritarianism, it boasts one of the vital world’s deepest, richest histories of democratic movements, ideas, and institutions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the region’s leading democracies did not lag very far at the back of the USA and Western Europe in making a lot of advances. In comparison with those countries, though, Latin The united states’s democratic history has been distinctive as a result of its fundamental catch 22 situation: how to reconcile political systems theoretically committed to legal equality with societies divided by extreme socio-economic inequalities.
