Book Description
"Latin america continues to provoke news of global significance, albeit for different reasons than a decaded ago. In the 1980's the stories were dominated by drug wars and political crises, focusing particularly on Central America. Marxist ideologies, politcal revolutions and liberation theologies appeared to proliferate. The 1990's have significantly altered the political, economic, social and religious landscape. Now we see 'democracies' on the rise, privatization of state monopolies and trade market reforms. However, social tensions and the poor increase in number, and the future remains volatile. The collapse of Soviet-style Marxism has profoundly impacted revolutionary movements as well as Cuba and Liberation Theologies. Today, even the secular media and academia acknowledge the surprising growth and influence of Latin Evangelicals that require serious re-evaluation ... this book is panoramic yet thorough. Following Escobar's essay, Part 1 by Taylor examines the historical, socio-political and religious backgrounds of Latin America. In Part 2 Nę︢z probes issues and challenges such as post-conciliar Roman Catholicism, liberation theology, the charismatic movement, contextualization, and evangelical social responsibility. In Part 3 both authors update their original material, and Taylor concludes by exploring the implications of this book for the church, mission agencies and expatriate missionaries in Latin America."--Back cover.

Democracy in Latin America
Author: Ignacio Walker
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 026809666X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
In 2009, Ignacio Walker—scholar, politician, and one of Latin America’s leading public intellectuals—published La Democracia en América Latina. Now available in English, with a new prologue, and significantly revised and updated for an English-speaking audience, Democracy in Latin America: Between Hope and Despair contributes to the necessary and urgent task of exploring both the possibilities and difficulties of establishing a stable democracy in Latin America. Walker argues that, throughout the past century, Latin American history has been marked by the search for responses or alternatives to the crisis of oligarchic rule and the struggle to replace the oligarchic order with a democratic one. After reviewing some of the principal theories of democracy based on an analysis of the interactions of political, economic, and social factors, Walker maintains that it is primarily the actors, institutions, and public policies—not structural determinants—that create progress or regression in Latin American democracy.
