The parties studied are crucial components of major trends in the region. By providing to voters clear programs for governing, and reaching out in particular to under-represented social groups, they have enhanced the quality of democracy and representative government. Based on extensive original research and detailed historical case studies, the book links historical institutional analysis and social movement theory to a study of the political systems in which the new ethnic cleavages emerged. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications for democracy of the emergence of this phenomenon in the context of declining public support for parties. 606 $aPolitical parties$zLatin America 606 $aIndians of South America$xPolitics and government 607 $aLatin America$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aLatin America$xPolitics and government$y1980- 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aIndians of South America$xPolitics and government. 676 $a324.2/089/98 700 $aVan Cott$b Donna Lee$01505063 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784330103321 996 $aFrom movements to parties in Latin America$93734473 997 $aUNINA
