This book presents a new theory for why democracies and dictatorships emerge and then either survive or collapse. Scott Mainwaring and AnÃbal Pérez-Liñán analyze the survival of political regimes in Latin America since 1900, arguing for a theory of democratization situated between explanations that emphasize long-term structural preconditions and short-term decisions by specific leaders.
