This book presents a new theory for why political regimes emerge,
and why they subsequently survive or break down. It then analyzes
the emergence, survival and fall of democracies and dictatorships
in Latin America since 1900. Scott Mainwaring and Anibal
Perez-Linan argue for a theoretical approach situated between
long-term structural and cultural explanations and short-term
explanations that look at the decisions of specific leaders. They
focus on the political preferences of powerful actors - the degree
to which they embrace democracy as an intrinsically desirable end
and their policy radicalism - to explain regime outcomes. They also
demonstrate that transnational forces and influences are crucial to
understand regional waves of democratization. Based on extensive
research into the political histories of all twenty Latin American
countries, this book offers the first extended analysis of regime
emergence, survival and failure for all of Latin America over a
long period of time.
