The Fall of the Alberto Fujimori Government: New Evidence and Interpretations
by Carlos Ugo Santander Joo and Carlos Federico Domínguez Avila
New evidence and interpretations regarding the end of the authoritarian Alberto Fujimori regime and the Peruvian democratic transition of 2000 suggest that preexisting electoral and institutional rules intrinsic to the authoritarian regime contributed to a process of regime change. Thus Peru can be seen as one of the few Latin American nations in which the transition was caused by a rupture in contrast to the pacted-reform/rupture transitions most common in the region.

Abstract, Clientelism a Stumbling Block for Democratization?: Lessons from Mexico by Kristin Seffer
:::::: Abstract ::::::
by Kristin Seffer
Clientelism is a form of social conflict management and as such is more than mere vote buying or a way of undermining rational-legal systems. Integrating clientelism into the debate over the transition to democracy makes it possible to explain the outcomes of stagnating political transition processes. Under the condition of labor surplus, clientelism hinders political inclusion by undermining the class-based organizations that might challenge the privileged access of the elite to resources. Consideration of clientelism helps explain the case of Mexico, which has been classified as a deviant case in transition research because two transition processes there, at the beginning and the end of the twentieth century, did not end in complete democratization.
