More copies of this ISBN:This title in other formats:Argentine Democracy: The Politics of Institutional Weaknessby Steven Levitsky
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book explores both political and economical developments, examining the links between the (real and apparent) successes of the 1990s and the 2001 collapse. Specific topics include economic policymaking and reform, executive-legislative relations, the judiciary, federalism, political parties and the party system, and new patterns of social protest. Advertising. Book News Annotation:As Levitsky (social sciences, Harvard U.) and Murillo (political
science and international and public affairs, Columbia U.) observe,
the Argentine crisis of 2001-2 was perhaps as any of the recurring
economic and social crises repeatedly experience in the Latin
American country, yet the armed forces managed to break with their
past history of intervening in national politics, leaving Argentina's
formal democratic political institutions intact. This collection of
11 papers collectively seek to understand these events and their
causes, examining such issues the economic liberalization policies of
the Menem government, the evolving role of political institutions,
the transformation of Peronism, changing patterns of social and
political protest. Theoretically, five central themes emerge: the
causes and consequences of institutional weakness, tensions between
radical economic reform and democracy, party system change and the
crisis of political representation, the link between sub-national and
national level politics, and the transformation of society relations
in the postcorporatist era.
