Latin America has long had a reputation for violence and unpredictability. In this study, two specialists in Latin American politics present a new view of this vital region, its frustrations, setbacks and its exciting possibilities.

Latin America in the Twentieth Century

Peter Calvert

Susan Calvert

St.Martin's Press

Susan and Peter Calvert present an account of Argentina, the eighth largest country in the world, blessed with immense natural resources but which has so far failed to justify expectations. The cultural and political heritage is examined to help explain the political instability and economic underdevelopment of the country. Culture, Catholicism, liberalism and personalism are among the influences discussed. Peter Calvert has also written "The Process of Political Succession".
