This work focuses oc the successsful accomplishments of democratic politics in Latin America and the Caribbean - a process that nations in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa seek to emulate. Dominguez considers the role of British colonial rule and US politics, but also examines the development of parties, other civil institutions, and competitive markers that lend permanence to democracy. The prospects of democracy for Cuba and Mexico are also examined. Despite recurrent problems, Dominguez concludes, the outlook is good for stable democracies in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
The Caribbean question - why has liberal democracy (surprisingly) flourished? democratic transitions in Central America and Panama; constructing democracies - parties, institutions, market reforms, the military, and the international environment; technopols - ideas and leaders in freeing politics and markets in Latin America in the 1990s; norms of Mexican citizenship - are Mexicans "democrats"? Cuba in the 1990s - the transition to somewhere.
