Wrong Author,
By Billy (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Breakdown of Democratic Regimes: Chile (Vol 4) (Paperback)
The author of this book is Arturo Valenzuela, not Juan J. Linz and Alfred Stepan as listed. They were the authors/editors of other books in the Breakdown of Democratic Regime series, but this one belongs to Valenzuela.
