Analysts and policymakers often decry the failure of institutions
to accomplish their stated purpose. Bringing together leading
scholars of Latin American politics, this volume helps us
understand why. The volume offers a conceptual and theoretical
framework for studying weak institutions. It introduces different
dimensions of institutional weakness and explores the origins and
consequences of that weakness. Drawing on recent research on
constitutional and electoral reform, executive-legislative
relations, property rights, environmental and labor regulation,
indigenous rights, squatters and street vendors, and anti-domestic
violence laws in Latin America, the volume's chapters show us that
politicians often design institutions that they cannot or do not
want to enforce or comply with. Challenging existing theories of
institutional design, the volume helps us understand the logic that
drives the creation of weak institutions, as well as the conditions
under which they may be transformed into institutions that matter.
