Levine 330 $aA 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. 606 $aCivil society$zLatin America 606 $aDemocracy$zLatin America 607 $aLatin America$xPolitics and government$y1980- 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a320.98 701 $aFeinberg$b Richard E$0118386 701 $aWaisman$b Carlos H$g(Carlos Horacio),$f1943-$01569073 701 $aZamosc$b Leo?n$0520198 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784157203321 996 $aCivil society and democracy in Latin America$93841654 997 $aUNINA
