FAU1LT LINE OF D4MOCRAnC GOVE RNANCE IN THE AMEIUCAS
edited by Felipe Aguiero and Jeffrey Stark
Concerns about democratization in Latin America today center not on the threat of authoritarian regression, but on the depth, quality, fair-
ness, and completeness of democratization thus far. Large-scale economic and social reforms, stronger and more complex civil societies, and processes
of integration and globalization call for new approaches in order to understand the unfolding of
- dde mocracy in the region. In this context, the con- _ tributors to the volume explore the often disjunctive
aspects of Latin American democracy, providing a nuanced understanding of contemporary democratic governance.
Felipe Agiuero is assistant professor of political science at Ohio State University.
