Linking Civil Society and the State
Urban Popular Movements, the Left, and Local Government in Peru, 1980–1992
Samenvatting
The role of local government became more important as Latin American countries moved away from state-led development models in the 1980s, and social movements helped to bring about a transition to democracy. This book, based on research in low income districts of Lima, analyses the relationship between a resurgent civil society and democratization.
