José Sazbón
En este libro, los principales núcleos de la obra de José Sazbón están organizados en secciones, cada una de las cuales consta de una introducción y una selección de artículos a cargo de especialistas en cada área. Así, presentamos aquí sus textos fundamentales, ordenados según los grandes temas a los que dedicó su obra: el marxismo, el estructuralismo, la memoria, la historiografía, la Revolución francesa, la Escuela de Frankfurt y la historia intelectual. Junto al bello texto de Ricardo Piglia, al diálogo hasta ahora inédito entre Sazbón y Perry Anderson y a las secciones dedicadas a la biblioteca y a la bibliografía del autor, este libro ofrece una herramienta sistemática para acceder al pensamiento de uno de los intelectuales más relevantes de la Argentina de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
Hybrid Regimes within Democracies
A cutting-edge description of subnational democracy combined with a ground breaking explanation for why some regions are much less democratic than others.
Presidential Impeachment and the New Political Instability in Latin America
Documents the emergence of a pattern of political instability in Latin America. Traditional military coups have receded in the region, but elected presidents are still ousted from power as a result of recurrent crises. Aníbal Pérez-Liñán shows that presidential impeachment has become the main constitutional instrument employed by civilian elites to depose unpopular rulers. Based on detailed comparative research in five countries and extensive historical information, the book explains why crises without breakdown have become the dominant form of instability in recent years and why some presidents are removed from office while others survive in power. The analysis emphasizes the erosion of presidential approval resulting from corruption and unpopular policies, the formation of hostile coalitions in Congress, and the role of investigative journalism. This book challenges classic assumptions in studies of presidentialism and provides important insights for the fields of political communication, democratization, political behaviour, and institutional analysis.
Democracies and Dictatorships in Latin America
This book presents a new theory for why political regimes emerge, and why they subsequently survive or break down. It then analyzes the emergence, survival and fall of democracies and dictatorships in Latin America since 1900. Scott Mainwaring and Aníbal Pérez-Liñán argue for a theoretical approach situated between long-term structural and cultural explanations and short-term explanations that look at the decisions of specific leaders. They focus on the political preferences of powerful actors - the degree to which they embrace democracy as an intrinsically desirable end and their policy radicalism - to explain regime outcomes. They also demonstrate that transnational forces and influences are crucial to understand regional waves of democratization. Based on extensive research into the political histories of all twenty Latin American countries, this book offers the first extended analysis of regime emergence, survival and failure for all of Latin America over a long period of time.
Presidential Impeachment and the New Political Instability in Latin America
For two decades, students of presidentialism have argued that extreme executive-legislative conflict ignites military interventions. However, in recent years many Latin American presidents have been removed from office without democratic breakdowns. This book addresses the emerging paradox of unstable governments in the midst of stable democracies.

When Democracy Breaks
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Democracy is often described in two opposite ways, as either wonderfully resilient or dangerously fragile. Both characterizations can be correct, depending on the context. When Democracy Breaks aims to deepen our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators--experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters--explore eleven episodes of democratic brea...
