Summary:In the midst of an unprecedented era of democratic governments and economic prosperity, why are a record number of Latin American citizens choosing to participate in protests? This text argues that increasingly engaged citizenries, forged by economic progress and technological advances throughout the region, combined with dysfunctional political institutions have fueled more contentious modes of participation in Latin America, as citizens' demands for government responsiveness have overwhelmed many regimes' institutional capacity to provide it.
Target Audience:Specialized.
