Book Synopsis
In this pioneering study of democratization in Argentina, Leslie Anderson challenges Robert Putnam’s thesis that democracy requires high levels of social capital. She demonstrates that formal institutions can serve not only as operational parts within democracy but as the driving force toward democracy.

Trade Review
“Anderson provides fascinating and useful comparisons to the role ofthe president in the United States and introduces a number of ideasfrom political theory to help explain the power and breadth of the roleof the executive in a presidential system. Argentina is an important andfascinating case in democratization, and much of the empirical evidencepresented here is novel and interesting.” - Kirk Bowman, Georgia Tech University
