Since 1982, Latin Americans have endured dramatic economic crises and elections that advanced liberal democracy and political pluralism. These conditions led many to believe that electoral results mainly reflect reactions to the economy. Based on an extensive study of the elections covering the 1980s and most of the 1990s, Economic Crises and Electoral Responses in Latin America offers a comprehensive overview of the many complex factors in the hearts and minds of voters.

Echegary does a fine job of reviewing the relevant Western and U.S. voting behavior and Latin American election literature, which informs his arguments and serves as the touchstone for his aggregate and individual models. This monograph should be read by students and scholars of Latin American mass and individual voting behavior and should be referenced by those who seek to test its findings in a more expanded set of cases (elections) that have taken place over the last decade.
