This revised edition reflects the political and economic developments that have occurred in Latin America in the 1990s. It emphasizes the trend towards elected, democratic governments, while underlining the difficulties of establishing democracy. Each country is analyzed.

Focusing on social change and political development in Latin America, the book examines the complexities of redemocratization and the emergence of new pluralism. It critically analyzes whether a unique tradition persists amid these evolving challenges, offering insights into the region's political landscape and its historical context.
