The sustainability of political democracy lessons from South America

Publication ,  Journal Article
Remmer, KL
Published in: Comparative Political Studies
January 1, 1996

Recent literature emphasizes the fragility of newly emerging democracies and the importance of economic performance to their survival. The analysis reevaluates this conventional wisdom and tests a theoretical alternative that takes into account the differential strengths and weaknesses of democracy and authoritarianism as well as institutional variations among democratic regimes. South American data for the post-1944 period form the empirical basis for the study. © 1996 Sage Publications, Inc.
