Rafael Cruz

Chapter 2 in The Local Alternative, 2011, pp 39-55 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most Latin American countries have experienced democratic governments since the wave of democratization that first swept through the region during the 1970s and 1980s. Some countries, such as Colombia and Venezuela, have had popular election systems continuously since the late 1950s, as has Mexico since the 1930s.
