LevineA dense web of private associations drawn from multiple social classes, interest groups and value communities makes for a firm foundation for strong democracy. In Latin America today, will civil society improve the quality of democracy or will it foster political polarization and reverse recent progress? Distinguished theorists from the United States, Canada and Latin America explore the diverse impact of civil society on economic performance, political parties, and state institutions. In-depth and up-to-date country studies explore the consequences of civil society for the durability of democracy in three highly dynamic, controversial settings: Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela.Civil societyLatin AmericaDemocracyLatin AmericaLatin AmericaPolitics and government1980-Civil societyDemocracy320.98Feinberg Richard E118386Waisman Carlos H(Carlos Horacio),1943-1569073Zamosc León520198MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784157203321Civil society and democracy in Latin America3841654UNINA
