Democracy in Latin America
Between 1978 and 2006, most Latin American countries joined the "third wave of democracy".

This enables readers to understand how autocratization influences the different dimensions of representative democracy.

This process of state making produced some of the capabilities enabling the global era. The difference is that these capabilities have become part of new organizing logics: actors other than nation-states deploy them...
