I think you are right that recurring crises in Latin America flow from the Presidential system, from Presidential overreach, and from the absence of an easy method of reigning Presidents in, other than golpismo of one form or another. If the Presidential system was essentially copied from the US (and I don't know of any specific historical work on how this happened, precisely) , it may be an example of the inappropriate transfer of institutional arrangements to different social realities.Jeffry Househttp://jeffryhouse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-9905910941535870272012-07-03T23:35:30.392+02:002012-07-03T23:35:30.392+02:00Some are able to overcome....Some are able to overcome....Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-91636370867882616892012-07-03T18:48:25.041+02:002012-07-03T18:48:25.041+02:00"I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in D..."I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in Dilma Roussef."

The only ones in prision are the ones that killed or ordered to kill people that day. and you should know by now, that this is about two different campaings, the ones that believes, like you, and the ones that belives like me. for you, Paraguay is a totally democratic country, for me, it is nothing else than a country ruled by the most arrogant people, elites, that want to control as they always have been since the dictatorship. Nothing different than Venezuela's elites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-347445016786912742012-07-02T18:51:34.766+02:002012-07-02T18:51:34.766+02:00These LA presidents of Mercosur are like Medieval ...These LA presidents of Mercosur are like Medieval kings who do whatever they like and whose only limit is what they can get away with .The democratic spirit is totally lacking.<br /><br /><br />http://youtu.be/gjX5SjoE8Zk<br /><br />must c.....just like Chavez does in Venezuela.<br /><br />In this commission supposedly for human rights,human rights are totally ignored and technicalities are used to stifle it.<br /><br />The dictatorships and authoritarians regimes far outnumber authentically democratic ones, so they get to define the meaning of human rights.firepighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158275219887987252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-36939455177878501692012-07-02T18:16:58.751+02:002012-07-02T18:16:58.751+02:00Daniel, for years I have stated here and elsewhere...Daniel, for years I have stated here and elsewhere how crooked Lula and the PT are. When I said the same about Dilma, me saltaron encima. Uruguayan Foreign Minister says today that Venezuela got in BECAUSE of Dilma's pressure. I won't hold my breath waiting to see freedom-loving anti-chavistas finally grasp what she's about, though.<br /><br />http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mundo/1113755-pressao-do-brasil-forcou-entrada-da-venezuela-no-mercosul-diz-uruguai.shtmlRicardohttp://twitter.com/veneconoreply@blogger.com
