Explore the complexities of Democratic Systems in Latin America with 'Democracy in Latin America'. This insightful book, published by Manchester University Press in 1999, serves as an essential resource for students and scholars alike, delving into both Central and Latin American political frameworks. This comprehensive study meticulously analyzes various political systems, exposing the challenges they face from popular movements and Leftist ideologies.

Using two distinct models of democracy—the liberal pacted approach and the radical participatory model—this book evaluates established political systems, transitional regimes from military to civilian rule, and socialist governance structures. Through this examination, the interconnections between the state, military, political parties, and grassroots movements are scrutinized, shedding light on the potential for a new brand of politics that emphasizes social justice and inclusion.
This book is perfect for undergraduates seeking a foundational understanding of Latin American politics and postgraduates eager for a thought-provoking discussion on democracy's future in the region. Don't miss out on this critical examination of democratic processes and their implications for citizenship and power relations within Latin American contexts.

Description:
This book offers an insight into the democratic processes and institutions in Latin and Central America. It analyses the different political systems and the challenges to them from the Left and popular movements.
Lievesley questions how far democracy is embedded in Latin and Central American and asks what constitutes citizenship in political cultures which remain highly differentiated in terms of the structures and relations of power. She does this through an evaluation of the two distinct perspectives of democracy: the liberal pacted and the radical participatory models.
Established political systems, systems in transition from military to civilian rule and Socialist systems are viewed through the prism of these two models. The inter-relationship between state, military, political parties and popular movements are examined with a view to determining the possibility of the emergence of a new politics, which would be inclusion rather than exclusionary and would pursue social justice.
The book will provide a stimulating assessment of the region's politics for undergraduates and will provoke debate for postgraduates. -- .
