Description

<i>Democratic Institutions in Guatemala: Theory and Practice</i> advances knowledge about Guatemala&#39;s democracy by embedding the country in recent conceptual and theoretical work in comparative politics. This volume sheds light upon the stubborn realities and challenges afflicting Guatemalan democracy during the post Peace Accords era. Each chapter delves into the main democratic institutions, informal practices, and players shaping the operative political game: elections, Congress, the Judiciary, the high courts, presidentialism, criminal actors, political parties, the political left and political right, and the peak business association CACIF. This book seeks to escape the perils of parochialism by placing the country within larger scholarly debates and paradigms.
