Towards Democratic Viability The Bolivian

This book traces the twin processes of economic liberalization and political democratization in Bolivia since the 1980s placing both processes in their historical context. The essays focus on the issue of democratic viability, and raise broader questions of the relationship between democratization and its socio-economic context.

John Crabtree is a writer and researcher on Latin America. Laurence Whitehead is Fellow in Politics at Nuffield College, Oxford.
