His analysis is enlightened by that experience, and this book is a welcome addition to the discussion of democratic development at a time when it is under threat.Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada Author Information"""Ted Piccone is a senior fellow with the Project on International Order and Strategy and the Latin America Initiative in the Foreign Policy program at Brookings.
