Latin America is moving toward democracy. The region's countries
hold elections, choose leaders, and form new governments. But is
the civilian government firmly in power? Or is the military still
influencing policy and holding the elected politicians in check
under the guise of guarding against corruption, instability,
economic uncertainty, and other excesses of democracy? The editors
of this work, Brian Loveman and Thomas M. Davies, Jr., argue that
with or without direct military rule, antipolitics persists as a
foundation of Latin American politics. This study examines the
origins of antipolitics, traces its nineteenth- and
twentieth-century history, and focuses on the years from 1965 to
1995 to emphasize the somewhat illusory transitions to democracy.
This third edition of The Politics of Antipolitics has been revised
and updated to focus on the post-Cold War era. With the demise of
the Soviet state and international Marxism, the Latin American
military has appropriated new threats including narcoterrorism,
environmental exploitation, technology transfer, and even AIDS to
redefine and relegitimate its role in social, economic, and
political policy. The editors also address why and how the military
rulers acceded to the return of civilian-elected governments and
the military's defense against accusations of human rights abuses.
