{"product_id":"challenges-of-party-building-in-latin-steven-levitsky-9781316601402","title":"Challenges of Party-Building in Latin America","description":"Nearly four decades since the onset of the third wave, political parties remain weak in Latin America: parties have collapsed in much of the region, and most new party-building efforts have failed. Why do some new parties succeed while most fail? This book challenges the widespread belief that democracy and elections naturally give rise to strong parties and argues that successful party-building is more likely to occur under conditions of intense conflict than under routine democracy. Periods of revolution, civil war, populist mobilization, or authoritarian repression crystallize partisan attachments, create incentives for organization-building, and generate a 'higher cause' that attracts committed activists. Empirically rich chapters cover diverse cases from across Latin America, including both successful and failed cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Levitsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316601404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316601402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.28d","brand":"Steven Levitsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924835041535,"sku":"9781316601402","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b7f74f94-0155-4114-9be2-907bf065faaf.jpg?v=1681073748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenges-of-party-building-in-latin-steven-levitsky-9781316601402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
