Description: "Comparative examination of the institutional networks that help to sustain new democracies in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. In a discussion of the role played by labor, capital, and the State in democratizing regimes, author argues that class compromise between working classes and capitalists that is mediated by State institutions (national labor administrations) is the most important variable for institutionalizing democratic capitalist rule. Useful treatment of the role of organized labor and institutional networks in regime transition with an excellent bibliography and index"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
