Learning Democracy tells the story of how Nicaragua overcame an authoritarian government and American interventionism by engaging in an electoral revolution that solidified its democratic self-governance. By analyzing nationwide surveys conducted during the 1990, 1996, and 2001 Nicaraguan presidential elections, Leslie E. Anderson and Lawrence C. Dodd provide insight into one of the most unexpected and intriguing recent advancements in third world politics. They offer a balanced account of the voting patterns and forward-thinking decisions that led Nicaraguans to first support the reformist Sandinista revolutionaries only to replace them with a conservative democratic regime a few years later. Addressing issues largely unexamined in Latin American studies, Learning Democracy is a unique and probing look at how the country's mass electorate moved beyond revolutionary struggle to establish a more stable democratic government by realizing the vital role of citizens in democratization processes. 606 $aDemocratization$zNicaragua 606 $aElections$zNicaragua 606 $aElections$zNicaragua$xPublic opinion 606 $aPolitical participation$zNicaragua 606 $aPublic opinion$zNicaragua 607 $aNicaragua$xPolitics and government$y1990-$xPublic opinion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aElections 615 0$aElections$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a324.97285/054 700 $aAnderson$b Leslie$g(Leslie E.)$0869359 701 $aDodd$b Lawrence C.$f1946-$0869360 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456625003321 996 $aLearning democracy$91940962 997 $aUNINA
