From the Preface: The authors' approach:
...adopted here, is to generalize about a small number of basic topics in Latin American politics from a certain perspective - that Latin American politics will not change very rapidly because political groups, individually and together, block effective government. This approach has some convincing advantages: it enables the student to evaluate a few topics in some detail; it uses a common theme which spans the entire area rather than concentrating upon one country or dissipating effort on too many topics; and it is easily adapted to other readings as a supplement to other approaches. We hope this approach to Latin American politics will spare the reader extreme generality as well as extreme triviality.
