Economic Crises and Electoral Responses in Latin America

Echegary does a fine job of reviewing the relevant Western and U.S. voting behavior and Latin American election literature, which informs his arguments and serves as the touchstone for his aggregate and individual models. This monograph should be read by students and scholars of Latin American mass and individual voting behavior and should be referenced by those who seek to test its findings in a more expanded set of cases (elections) that have taken place over the last decade. -- Eric M. Jepsen, Latin American Politics and Society
For the past decade and a half, the winds of democracy have been sweeping throughout Latin America. Echegaray provides a comprehensive survey of those theories and methods of analyzing electoral behavior and applies them to elections in Latin America during this period. The most interesting part of his study deals with the amorphous nature of these elections. Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. Comprehensive graduate and research collections. -- E.
