How did
Costa Rica become Central America’s first successful democracy? How does
Costa Rican democracy work? How does democracy survive despite regional turmoil, foreign intervention, and economic crisis? Beginning with
Costa Rica’s history within the Central American context, John Booth traces democratic development in
Costa Rica through its institutions, rules of the political game, parties, elections, and interest groups. After a review of socioeconomic and political forces, the author examines political participation and culture, political economy, and foreign affairs. The book’s overview of
Costa Rican politics is accessible and useful for students, scholars, and general readers.
