Why do institutional crises emerge, spread, and repeat in some Latin American countries, but not in others? This book shows that concentrating power in the executive branch not only fuels presidential crises under divided government, but also triggers broader constitutional crises that cascade on to the legislature and the judiciary.
1. Introduction; 2. Inter-branch crises in Latin America; 3. Institutional crises as bargaining failures; 4. Why the mighty fall: explaining the onset of presidential crises in contemporary Latin America; 5. Constitutional coups as a commitment problem; 6. Caught in the cross-fire? Inter-branch crises and judicial instability; 7. Conclusion.
