Reviews"Politics of Latin America covers multiple perspectives, disciplines, and approaches. It is global in focus and treats Latin America as a global player in the power game. I've stopped looking at alternative books since none come close to this one."--Amentahru Wahlrab, The University of Texas at Tyler"Politics of Latin America does a superb job at providing a thematic introduction to the area that can be complemented with the country chapters."--Julia Albarracin, Western Illinois University, "Politics of Latin America covers multiple perspectives, disciplines, and approaches.

SynopsisNow in its seventh edition, Politics of Latin America: The Power Game explores both the evolution and the current state of the political scene in Latin America. This text demonstrates a nuanced sensitivity to the use and abuse of power and the importance of social conditions, gender, race, globalization, and political economy throughout the region. It is uniquely divided into two parts: one that treats big-picture, thematic questions, and one that focuses on particular countries through case studies of ten representative nations: Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, and Bolivia.
