"Latin America has one of the longest histories of active party
politics and elections of any region in the world, yet the
experiences there have been very different from those of Western
Europe and the United States. In Latin America, party politics has
produced governments ranging from democratic to authoritarian, with
considerable variations among nations as well as fluctuations
within countries over time. This text provides a comprehensive
comparative review of party politics in each Latin American
country. The evolution of specific parties is examined, and special
emphasis is given to the behavioral aspects of voting patterns and
party affiliation. In addition, Drs. McDonald and Ruhl discuss each
country's distinctive patterns of organizing and holding elections,
including the laws and procedures that regulate them. Finally, the
authors identify the general experiences the countries share,
especially the long-term impact of sustained modernization on
national party politics. The book provides students with a general
framework for interpreting party politics in individual countries
and for understanding how politics is linked to Latin America's
economic development, democracy, and political stability."
