Politics Latin America examines the role of Latin America in the world and its importance to the study of politics with particular emphasis on the institutions and processes that exist to guarantee democracy and the forces that threaten to compromise it.
Now in its second edition and fully revised to reflect recent developments in the region, Politics Latin America provides students and teachers with an accessible overview of the regions unique political and economic landscape, covering every aspect of governance in its 21 countries. The book examines the international relations of Latin American states as they seek to carve out a role in an increasingly globalised world and will be an ideal introduction for undergraduate courses in Latin American politics and comparative politics.
Gavin OToole has taught Latin American politics and democratic theory at Queen Mary, University of London and was a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Londons Institute for the Study of the Americas. He is also a publisher and journalist and is the author of The Reinvention of Mexico (forthcoming) and the co-editor of Che in Verse (2007).
