Summary:

In 'A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power', Julio F. Carrión examines the relationship between populism in power and democracy. He studies five Latin American populist presidencies and explains why and how democracy perished under four of them but survived in one. Carrión also develops a theory that accounts for changes in the balance of power between the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary, and distinguishes between unconstrained and contained populism in power.
