요약 | "Latin American Politics is aimed at Latin American politics courses offered out of political science departments at the second- and third-year levels. Unlike many texts in this area, which tend to take a country-by-country approach, this book takes a thematic approach and covers such topics as Latin America's history, violence, democracy, and political economy. This approach is self-consciously comparative and encourages students to develop stronger comparative analysis skills. Fully updated and revised, this second edition also includes a new chapter on party systems and the media as well as new chapter-opening and closing vignettes to engage readers and provide more country-specific content."-- |
