Abstract:
This book addresses the breakdown of failed democratic systems in Latin America and the Caribbean. The scope of this investigation is a study of political systems of Venezuela, Colombia, and Nicaragua. The implications of the present research on democratic purgatory have real-world applications not only for the above countries but also for those political systems that are currently transitioning and/or consolidating their democracies as well. Christopher M. Brown is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Political Science and International Studies, Georgia Southern University, USA. His primary research agenda addresses normative issues of democratization and democracy theory. He is the author of Constructing International Studies and Introduction to International Studies.
