The democratization of a national government is only a first step in diffusing democracy throughout a country's territory. Even after a national government is democratized, subnational authoritarian 'enclaves' often continue to deny rights to citizens of local jurisdictions. Gibson offers new theoretical perspectives for the study of democratization in his exploration of this phenomenon. His theory of 'boundary control' captures the conflict pattern between incumbents and oppositions when a national democratic government exists alongside authoritarian provinces (or 'states'). He also reveals how federalism and the territorial organization of countries shape how subnational authoritarian regimes are built and how they unravel. Through a novel comparison of the late nineteenth-century American 'Solid South' with contemporary experiences in Argentina and Mexico, Gibson reveals that the mechanisms of boundary control are reproduced across countries and historical periods. As long as subnational authoritarian governments coexist with national democratic governments, boundary control will be at play.

What promotes or hinders the development of conservative parties in Latin America? What does this augur for the stable representation of the propertied and socially privileged in political parties? In Class and Conservative Parties, Edward L. Gibson examines these questions in light of Latin America's long legacies of authoritarianism and democratic instability. Gibson explores these questions theoretically, historically and comparatively. He develops an approach to the comparative study of conservative parties that sheds new theoretical light on the social dynamics of party politics. Historically, he traces the determinants of conservative party development in Argentina, providing a rich analysis of how interactions between conservatism's elite "core constituencies," party leaders, and the state shaped the rise and fall of conservative parties in the 19th and 20th centuries. Gibson also presents a comparative examination of conservative party politics in Latin America during the 1980s and 1990s and offers a thoughtful look ahead to conservatism's future in the region.

La democratización de un gobierno nacional es solo el primer paso en la difusión de la democracia a lo largo y ancho del territorio de una nación. Incluso después de que se democratiza un gobierno nacional, los enclaves autoritarios subnacionales persisten en negar derechos a los ciudadanos de jurisdicciones locales. Edward L. Gibson ofrece nuevas perspectivas teóricas para el estudio de la democratización en su exploración de este fenómeno. Su teoría del control de límites capta el patrón de conflicto entre autoridades y oposiciones cuando un gobierno nacional democrático coexiste con provincias o estados autoritarios. También revela que el federalismo y la organización territorial de los países moldean la forma en cómo se crean y se desenvuelven los regímenes subnacionales autoritarios. Mediante una comparación novedosa del sur sólido estadounidense de finales del siglo XIX con experiencias contemporáneas en Argentina y México, Gibson muestra que los mecanismos de control de límites se reproducen en diversos países y periodos históricos. Mientras los gobiernos subnacionales autoritarios convivan con gobiernos nacionales democráticos, existirá este control.

We live in an increasingly federalized world. This fact has generated interest in how federal institutions shape politics, policy-making, and the quality of life of those living in federal systems. In Federalism and Democracy in Latin America, Edward L. Gibson brings together a distinguished group of scholars to examine the Latin American experience with federalism and to advance our theoretical understanding of politics in federal systems. By means of theoretical essays and case studies, the authors address questions of how and when federal institutions matter for politics, policy-making, and democratic practice. They also offer conceptual approaches for studying federal systems, their origins, and their internal dynamics. Federalism and Democracy in Latin America provides case studies on the four existing federal systems in Latin America-Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela-and their experiences in dealing with a variety of issues, including federal system formation, democratization, electoral representation, and economic reform.
