Incomplete Democracy: Political Democratization in Chile and Latin America. MANUEL ANTONIO GARRETÓN, Chapel Hill, NC: The University of North Carolina Press, 2003.

Abstract

Reading much of Manuel Antonio Garretón’s recent work, one cannot help but be reminded of a quote from Antonio Gramsci: “The old is dying, and the new cannot be born; in the interregnum there arises a great variety of morbid symptoms.” This is a particularly apt synopsis of Incomplete Democracy, the updated and translated compilation of Garretón’s Hacia una nueva era política (1995) and Política y sociedad entre dos épocas (2000).
