The Persistence of Local Caudillos in Latin America

Informal Political Practices and Democracy in Unitary Countries

Beschreibung

This book explores how local caudillos stay in power and why some are more successful than others in retaining office. Tomáš Došek provides an in-depth analysis of six cases from Chile, Paraguay, and Peru to show the strategies that caudillos pursue to secure power and the mistakes they commit that drive them out.
