Specialists, students and laypersons alike will have plenty to reflect upon.' Development and Change
'This book is an excellent contribution to the debate on democracy in Latin America. ... can be used by academics and students to the extent that the book offers deep, comprehensive and clear analysis of recent political events in the region.' Political Studies Review
