In this region, disaffection with democracy, political parties, and legislatures has spread to an alarming degree. Many presidents have been forced from office, and many traditional parties have fallen by the wayside. These five countries have the potential to be negative examples in a region that has historically had strong demonstration and diffusion effects in terms of regime changes. \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis of Democratic Representation in the Andes\u003c\/i\u003e addresses an important question for Latin America as well as other parts of the world: Why does representation sometimes fail to work?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Mainwaring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804752788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804752787\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 08\/08\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.32w x 1.06d","brand":"Scott Mainwaring","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065146650879,"sku":"9780804752787","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c375b253-a828-46c2-92f2-e0abaa7ee644.jpg?v=1768673301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crisis-of-democratic-representation-scott-mainwaring-9780804752787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
