Description

First published in English in 1990 as "Latin American Politics: A Theoretical Framework", a translation of Torcuato S. Di Tella's original "Sociolog a de los procesos pol ticos", this edition also focuses on the prerequisites for democracy in any society and on the role of the popular classes in social change. Di Tella draws on the work of Montesquieu, Burke, Tocqueville, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim in formulating his explanatory theories. These theories are then tested against crucial events in Latin American history - from the rebellions of the 18th century to the caudillos of the 19th century and the militarism of the 20th century. This latest edition is more attuned to an English-speaking audience, with a new chapter addressing the historical process in Argentina from the 1930s to the present.
