Focusing on the post-1990 period, this volume addresses why some policies and some countries have been more successful than others in meeting this dual challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo features of the volume stand out.

The second feature is the range of expertise within the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to the volume editors, the contributors are Alan Angell, Daniel Brinks, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, José de Gregorio, Alejandro Foxley, Evelyne Huber, José Miguel Insulza, Juliana Martínez Franzoni, Patricio Navia, Francisco Rodriguez, Mitchell Seligson, John Stephens, Jorge Vargas Cullell, and Ignacio Walker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Mainwaring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804760853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804760850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 171","brand":"Scott Mainwaring","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443699659007,"sku":"9780804760850","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27bf6d77-c862-453f-aa4d-abbe61fd484e.jpg?v=1777207228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democratic-governance-in-latin-america-scott-mainwaring-9780804760850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
