Assessing Democracy in Latin America: A Tribute to Russell H. Fitzgibbon: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Assessing Democracy in Latin America: A Tribute to Russell H. Fitzgibbon" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Based on fifty years worth of data, Assessing Democracy in Latin America examines and compares the progress of Latin American countries toward democracy. The essays in this volume, all written by contributors to the Fitzgibbon Democracy Survey, focus their analyses on those factors most germane to the growth, maintenance, or failure of democratic systems. For example, in his initial chapter, Philip Kelly identifies two variables, mechanized agriculture and per-capita newspaper circulation, as the best statistical indicators of democracy in Latin America. Other contributors explore a variety of new topics such as the connection between democracy and environmental movements (Kathryn Hochstetler and Steven Mumme), political parties (John D. Martz), and social dynamics (Robert L. Peterson).Initiated in 1945 as a method of measuring and ranking Latin American democratic systems, the Fitzgibbon Democracy Surveys longevity and scope provide an unparalleled wealth of scholarly research. This volume offers what few others like it can: a longitudinally deep data set (eleven surveys over the past fifty years) and closely coordinated coverage of the complete range of Latin American countries by specialists assembled expressly for that purpose.

Tribute to Russell H. Fitzgibbon
Russell H. Fitzgibbon, to whom this book is dedicated, was born in Columbus, Indiana, on June 29, 1902. He died January 8, 1979, in Sun City, Arizona, survived by his wife, Irene, a son, Alan Lee, and a married daughter, Katherine Irene Lilly. In political science, he earned his B.A. degree at Hanover College, his M.A. at Indiana University, and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. Fitzgibbon joined the UCLA faculty in 1936, rising to the full professor rank in 1948. He chaired his department, was a longtime director of the UCLA Center for Latin American Studies, and held the chairmanship of the Academic Senates statewide budget committee, one of the most influential faculty committees in the University of California system. From 1964 until his retirement in 1970 he taught at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
His principal books include Cuba and the United States; Uruguay: Portrait of a Democracy; and Latin America, Past and Present Professor Fitzgibbon was compiler of William Allen Whites Forty Years on Main Street, a collection of the most noteworthy editorials of that Emporia, Kansas, native, and was editor of Global Politics and Constitutions of the Americas. He held fellowships from the Social Science Research Council, the Doherty Foundation, and the Fulbright organization, and under the auspices of these organizations he studied, taught, and researched in Spain, Italy, Uruguay, and Argentina. In 19561957 he served the Western Political Science Association as president.
Beyond these professional statistics, however, Russell Fitzgibbon touched the lives of many. In a personal letter to me, David Myers wrote:
Fitz cared about his graduate students and went out of his way to give them every opportunity to pursue the career they had chosen. He was intolerant of sloppy scholarship. His criticism was devastatingbut never personal. Fitzgibbon did more than any professor in my graduate school career to cure me of any tendency toward unsubstantiated generalizations.
His colleague on the democracy survey, Kenneth F. Johnson, in a June 23, 1997, letter to me, remembered Fitzgibbon as a shy and retiring person:
I spent quite a bit of time with him as a graduate student, visited him later on in the hospital in Santa Barbara, and he always came to my guest lectures when he was in semiretirement in Arizona and he taught part time at ASU. Whenever he invited me I went to see him but it was always in a very formal atmosphere. Not that there was anything cold about him, quite the contrary. What Fitz had was integrity! His word was good. He tried to stay out of office politics at UCLA which were tearing the place apart. Fitz was a good friend, shy, brilliant, reclusive but still able to exude warmth. He guided me through a difficult dissertation process. I have never heard anyone say anything but the very best in reference to Russell Fitzgibbon.
