Liberalismo y poder: Latinoamerica en el siglo ⅩⅨ

摘要

Much of nineteenth-century Latin American historiography is contained within guidelines defined by the discussion of the exogenous, inadequate or failed character of Latin American liberalism. This debate is frequently focused on settling whether the Hispanic cultural tradition did, or did not, contain a significant liberal potential, the latter being considered an essential element of political and social modernisation.
