Colombia: A Contemporary Political Survey

by John D. Martz

Book Overview

Among Latin-American nations, Colombia offers a unique opportunity for a study in comparative governmental methods and institutions. In 1958 Colombia initiated an extraordinary political experiment in controlled democracy: the two traditional parties, Liberal and Conservative, agreed on absolute parity of representation from national to local level. This is a study of that experiment.

Originally published in 1962.
