Political Learning and Redemocratization in Latin America:

Intrigued with the question of how societies adopt norms, institutions, and rules associated with liberal democracy, the contributors to this volume examine how political actors in Latin America reorient their behavior and attitudes to support, adapt, or acquiesce to democracy. The authors offer case studies of change in political parties in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Venezuela—countries where democracy has broken down and been reinstated. They also discuss adaptation to change in the military, business, and labor sectors.
