Why does institutional instability pervade the developing world?
Examining contemporary Latin America, Institutions on the Edge
develops and tests a novel argument to explain why institutional
crises emerge, spread, and repeat in some countries, but not in
others. The book draws on formal bargaining theories developed in
the conflict literature to offer the first unified micro-level
account of inter-branch crises. In so doing, Helmke shows that
concentrating power in the executive branch not only fuels
presidential crises under divided government, but also triggers
broader constitutional crises that cascade on to the legislature
and the judiciary. Along the way, Helmke highlights the importance
of public opinion and mass protests, and elucidates the conditions
under which divided government matters for institutional
instability.
