This volume describes and analyzes the proliferation of new
mechanisms for participation in Latin American democracies and
considers the relationship between direct participation and the
consolidation of representative institutions based on traditional
electoral conceptions of democracy. Encompassing case studies of
Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua, Uruguay, and Venezuela, the
book draws on original fieldwork to assess how institutions operate
in practice, thus illuminating the conditions under which direct
participation enhances broader aims of democratic participation. In
so doing, it conveys fresh perspectives on the quality of democracy
in Latin America today and about future prospects for deepening
democratic citizenship.
