Sumario:Most party systems are relatively stable over time. Yet in the 1980s and 1990s, established party systems in Peru and Venezuela broke down, leading to the elections of outsider Alberto Fujimori and anti-party populist Hugo Chavez.

This book uses economic data, surveys, and experiments to show that these explanations are in.
