Description:
Using Argentina as the main example, this work examines all aspects of democracy and democratization in Latin America. The author illustrates many weaknesses of authoritarianism and repressive regimes which, he argues, can be taken advantage of appropriately by the struggle for democracy.
Synopsis:
Counterpoints is a successful mix of personal experience and meticulous scholarship -- a trajectory of O'Donnell's work that starts with the critique of authoritarianism and ends with a close examination of presently existing democracies in Latin America. His discussion of the flaws of the new democracies originating from defective institutionalism and extreme social inequalities is especially valuable for scholars of democracy and democratization, comparative politics, and Latin American politics.
