Political Structures and Democracy in Uruguay

By Luis E. Gonzalez and Luis Eduardo González

This book analyzes the nature and development of democracy in Uruguay, and reflects upon the future prospects of Uruguayan democracy. It looks above all at political institutions - the electoral system, the party system, and the composition of executive power - and how they have shaped politics in this small nation that for decades stood out as one of the two most established democracies in the Third World. It provides an examination of the 1980s, and gives background information on earlier periods of Uruguayan democracy.
