Latin America is a region of great diversity and a rich laboratory
for understanding the processes of political development and their
interaction with economic growth, social modernization, and
cultural influences. Highlighting crucial periods of dynamic
socioeconomic and political change, Comparative Latin American
Politics provides a balanced, concise overview of select Latin
American countries without underestimating the complexities of a
region noted for its striking differences. The book focuses on the
dominant dyad of Mexico and Brazil while also considering in detail
Argentina, Chile, Peru, Columbia, and Venezuela - seven countries
that contain four-fifths of the region's inhabitants as well as an
even higher proportion of its economy.Recognizing that political
institutions and cultures are built over generations, author Ronald
M. Schneider divides his analysis into two parts. Part one examines
the period from independence to 1930, when countries were coping
with an array of post-independence problems and challenges of
national consolidation. Part two concentrates on 1930 to the
present day and fleshes out current political practices and
structures. Each part devotes chapters to specific country coverage
as well as meaningful comparative perspectives that illuminate the
political evolution of the region and offer salient lessons for
other developing parts of the world.
