Non-Fiction History
Twenty years have passed since the 1989 U.S. invasion that
toppled Panama’s military regime and initiated a period of
democratization. This book represents the most comprehensive
and empirically grounded analysis of the institutional and
attitudinal factors that have shaped Panamanian politics
since the invasion. Using quantitative and qualitative methods the book traces
the development of the Panamanian nation-state from its
early days after independence from Colombia, to the
struggles to build democracy after the U.S. invasion,
through the presidential elections of May 2009. The study
makes use of extensive interviews with political and
economic elites, as well as the most comprehensive series of
public opinion surveys ever conducted in Panama. As such, they provide a wealth of data on democratic values
and allow placing Panama in a comparative perspective.
