Democracy in Latin America examines the processes of democratization in Latin America over the past twenty years. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the issues inherent in the move toward democracy--including elections, culture, representation, poverty, and criminality. Organized thematically, with a unique historical perspective, the book focuses on six paradigmatic case studies in the region: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

studies a continent-wide trend
, 2006-11-22
Across a diversity of countries, Smith explains a sea change in Latin America since the 1960s. Now, most are democracies, however flawed. Whereas previously, there had been several military dictatorships, and a cycle of elected governments being replaced or ousted by the military. The attention given to each country is necessarily abbreviated, given the space constraints of the text. But he gives enough detail to explain the salient events.
Also, by comparing trends throughout the region, he demonstrates that there was a mutually reinforcing aspect. Where now it is considered strongly inappropriate for a nation's generals to take power.
