What promotes or hinders the development of conservative parties
in Latin America? What does this augur for the stable
representation of the propertied and socially privileged in
political parties? In "Class and Conservative Parties, " Edward L.
Gibson examines these questions in light of Latin America's long
legacies of authoritarianism and democratic instability.
Gibson explores these questions theoretically, historically and
comparatively. He develops an approach to the comparative study of
conservative parties that sheds new theoretical light on the social
dynamics of party politics. Historically, he traces the
determinants of conservative party development in Argentina,
providing a rich analysis of how interactions between
conservatism's elite "core constituencies," party leaders, and the
state shaped the rise and fall of conservative parties in the 19th
and 20th centuries. Gibson also presents a comparative examination
of conservative party politics in Latin America during the 1980s
and 1990s and offers a thoughtful look ahead to conservatism's
future in the region.
