Recenzje

Political parties are an integral part of most political systems. Rosenblatt conducted extensive interviews from 2010 to 2014 with many political activists in Chile, Costa Rica, and Uruguay, three of Latin America's currently most stable democracies. He attributes the stability of these regimes to "party vibrancy," acondition based on party institutionalization not tied to a particular candidate or factor... Despite many challenges, parties in Chile, Costa Rica, and Uruguay have survived as significant channels of democratic representation and served their nations well.While drawing the examples from Latin America, Rosenblatt's conclusions are broadly applicable to political parties anywhere in the world. The book belongs in all academic libraries.
