Product Description
This work studies the political behavior of peasants in four Paraguayan communities that were selected to measure the influence of two variables on political behavior-economic location and the history of elite-peasant relationships. The author discusses the impact of both capitalist development and local history on community political responses.

A study of the multiple factors that sustained the regime of Alfredo Stroessner in Paraguay for over 30 years.

The author also examines the forces that brought about the regime's eventual downfall - economic recession, deep divisions within the party, and the mobilization of political groups. ... Read more
