This new textbook provides students with a comprehensive and
accessible introduction to the presidents and presidential
leadership in Latin America. Unlike other texts, Presidents and
Democracy in Latin America integrates both political analysis and
major theoretical perspectives with extensive country-specific
material. Part One examines the developments in recent years in
Latin American presidentialism and identifies different
characteristics of society and politics which have influenced Latin
American governments. The personalization of political life and of
presidential government help to illustrate the character of Latin
American politics, specifically on the type of political career of
those who occupied the presidential office, the leadership style of
these presidents and the type of government which they led. Part
Two studies two presidents in each of six countries in the region
which reflect the broad trends in the political and electoral life:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Each case
study first provides the biographical background of the president;
it outlines the political career of the president both inside and
outside of a party, including at the local level; the popularity of
the president at the time of the presidential election is given, as
well as the mode of selection of the candidates (selection by party
leaders only, by party members or by a primary). The relation of
the president with the government or ministers, especially if there
is a coalition government, is detailed. This textbook will be
essential reading for all students of Latin American Politics and
is highly recommended for those studying executive politics,
political leadership, and the state of democratic governance in
Latin America.
