Latin American Politics reflects just how much the region has changed in the last two decades. Eduardo AlemaÌn draws on contemporary research in comparative studies on institutions, elections, and public opinion to highlight the big questions that political scientists seek to answer today: What are the causes of political instability? What explains the gap in economic and political development between the United States and Latin America? Why have some revolutionaries triumphed when most have failed?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Political stability $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Latin America. 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Political stability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069883 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706020111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4706DDAA353511EB88BA481D27ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
