Lynn Shelton directs this US comedy starring Keira Knightley, Chloë Grace Moretz and Sam Rockwell. Though Megan (Knightley) is 28 years old, an age when many women would be looking to settle down, she remains young at heart - to the extent that she flees when her boyfriend Anthony (Mark Webber) proposes to her. Informing the bewildered Anthony that she will be away at a conference for the next week, Megan instead seeks refuge with 14-year-old Annika (Moretz). The opportunity to relive her adolescence through hanging out with Annika and her friends clearly appeals to Megan, but will her growing relationship with the girl's father, Craig (Rockwell), force her to face reality at last?
The advance of democracy in Latin America over the past quarter century has contributed significantly to ensuring respect for fundamental political freedoms, civil liberties, and human rights. "Democracies in Development" highlights how an effective democracy is also essential for sustainable economic and social development. The book analyzes the effects of institutions on the functioning of democratic systems, identifies regional trends in political reform, assesses the value of reforms in contributing to enhanced democratic governance, and offers conclusions about the types of reforms that may hold promise for strengthening democracy. Appendices in the book's accompanying CD-ROM outline the institutional makeup of the region's democratic systems, examine voter turnout in presidential and legislative elections from 1978 to 2004, and present election results over the same period.
