| Abstract
|
:
|
"Until 1973, when the army deposed President Allende, most observers regarded Chile as an exception among developing countries. Its political regime was democratic and its stable institutions respected the rule of law. The book demonstrates that, despite appearances, neither political nor legal institutions had the strength or resilience hitherto taken for granted. Taking the notion of democratization as its unifying thread, Faundez traces the complex and uneven evolution of political and legal institutions. This book also offers an explanation of the factors that led to the collapse of democracy in 1973."--BOOK JACKET.
