Books by Guillermo O'Donnell

Aims to bring together a collection of essays which considers both the method for and substance of critiques of democracies. This book is useful for scholars working in justice reform, democratization, and comparative politics.

Using Argentina as the main example, this work examines all aspects of democracy and democratization in Latin America. The author illustrates many weaknesses of authoritarianism and repressive regimes which, he argues, can be taken advantage of appropriately by the struggle for democracy.
