Argentine Democracy: The Politics of Institutional Weakness

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Argentina's political and economic crisis in the 1990s and 2000s, exploring the links between the country's successes and failures during this time period.

The editors and contributors examine issues such as economic policymaking and reform, executive-legislative relations, the judiciary, federalism, political parties and the party system, and new patterns of social protest.

They also contribute to several theoretical debates in comparative politics, including tensions between radical economic reform and democracy, political parties and contemporary crises of representation, links between subnational and national politics, and the transformation of state-society relations in the post-corporatist era.

With a team of leading experts in the field, this book offers a valuable update on Argentina's democracy and its travails, providing insights into the country's political and economic challenges and their implications for the region.
