Book Description:

Latin America is caught in a middle-quality institutional trap, with flawed democracies and low-to-medium capacity States. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the development sequence - Latin America has democratized before building capable States - does not explain the region's quandary. States can make democracy, but so too can democracy make States.
