This publication examines the process of democratic transition in post-authoritarian and post-civil war countries of Latin America. Issues discussed include: a broad definition of democracy based upon the existence of a 'political society'; the need to deal with past abuses of human rights by balancing justice and reconciliation; integrating societies into global market economics; the role of civil society; the problems of achieving a sense of citizenship in many communities; and issues of ethnicity.
