Argentina: Political Culture and Instability (Pitt Latin American Series)

Susan and Peter Calvert present an account of Argentina, the eighth largest country in the world, blessed with immense natural resources but which has so far failed to justify expectations. The cultural and political heritage is examined to help explain the political instability and economic underdevelopment of the country. Culture, Catholicism, liberalism and personalism are among the influences discussed. Peter Calvert has also written "The Process of Political Succession".
