Social movements are examined as precursors of political change & social transformation in Latin America. Here, movements of the 1960s & 1970s are summarized. Such movements cut across social class structure, with leadership not fixed in a certain personality, & the ruling classes responded with state terror. This response only temporarily quelled the movements: structural factors, eg, a decline in the standard of living & continued elite class-state ties, led to a resurgence of social movements in Latin America in the 1980s. These movements challenge the ruling military-civilian class, & seek to quicken the democratization process in Latin America. The origins of such movements & major actions are described. A. Cole

This essay examines how scholars teach Latin American Politics to undergraduate students in American colleges & universities. Based on an analysis of syllabi from Latin American politics survey courses, this article studies the themes, case studies, books, student participation techniques, multimedia, & online services used by teachers of Latin American Politics in the US. The study shows some areas of consensus & disagreement among scholars. Scholars concur on what are the most frequently discussed themes & countries. Scholars lend to disagree on the required books & types of required student participation. Those who employ audiovisual materials tend to disagree less on their choice of videos. Last, an important number of scholars use online services in their Latin American Politics classes, although there are still others who do not. 7 Tables, 2 References.

In the last several years an increasing number of political scientists have turned to Latin America as their principal area interest. Many of these academicians have been trained in the various sub-disciplines of political science and turn to Latin America as a meaningful laboratory for the study of specific political groups or processes.

The study of politics in british universities has traditionally been historical in approach and parochial in scope. It is only recently that the teaching and research interests of British political scientists have spread beyond the Anglo-European parliamentary tradition to the more 'exotic' areas of what is inaccurately called the 'Third World'. In the first half of this century the observation and analysis of political activity in the non-European parts of the world were the unchallenged concerns of travellers, diplomats, and journalists; and their writings found few serious readers in the universities. Their work was regarded, and often conceived, as a species of adventurers' tales describing quaint but essentially pre-political societies.

In Latin Amer there are 3 types of country in which the group of professional army officers plays 3 distinct types of pol'al role. Representing the 2 extremes & an approximate mid-point of a spectrum along which the 20 republics of Latin Amer can be placed, these 3 types are: (1) the countries in which the military always plays a pol'al role, often as the agent of despotism; (2) at the other extreme, those democracies which operate so well that the military never, or almost never, plays a pol'al role, & (3) those countries where the military occasionally plays a pol'al role, operating Ply however in silent but effective support of constitutional & democratic principles. The sociol'al & other military & non-military characteristics of the countries comprising each of these 3 types reveal, when analysed, certain definite similarities which offer both clues to the reasons underlying the country's pol'al experience, & suggestions as to possible courses of action to improve that experience.
