Cover of Jo-Marie Burt & Philip Mauceri: Politics In The Andes (PDF)

The Andean region is perhaps the most violent and politically unstable in the Western Hemisphere. <i>Politics in the Andes</i> is the first comprehensive volume to assess the persistent political challenges facing Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.Arguing that Andean states and societies have been shaped by common historical forces, the contributors' comparative approach reveals how different countries have responded variously to the challenges and opportunities presented by those forces. Individual chapters are structured around themes of ethnic, regional, and gender diversity; violence and drug trafficking; and political change and democracy.<i>Politics in the Andes</i> offers a contemporary view of a region in crisis, providing the necessary context to link the often sensational news from the area to broader historical, political, economic, and social trends.
