Building Democratic Institutions: Party Systems in Latin America

Review:

"This is the best book available on a very important topic. Bringing together an exciting blend of older and younger scholars, the volume presents a realistic assessment of the virtues and shortcomings of the recent democratization in Latin America. It sustains a remarkably consistent approach and an unusually high level of quality; the essays are all well conceived and well written. No other book offers a comparable amount of information or the degree of sophistication present here."—Paul W. Drake, University of California, San Diego

"This book represents a major step forward in the analysis of parties and party systems in Latin America, enriching the debate enormously. Introductory and concluding chapters by the editors make an important general arguement, raise issues for further research, and place the country cases in a coherent comparative framework. . . . The twelve country studies provide a wealth of information."—Jornal of Democracy

"...a superb book that will be of great interest to those concerned with democracy in Latin America, political parties, and Christian Democracy."—Latin American Politics and Society
