En los ultimos anos, la democracia se ha convertido en el regimen politico imperante en America Latina. El problema es que, en no pocas ocasiones en la historia latinoamericana, luego del auge de la democracia se dieron largos periodos de dictadura. El autor reflexiona sobre las caracteristicas de esta nueva democracia, analizando los agentes del poder en los diversos paises, para iniciar un debate sobre el nuevo rol de la democracia en la region y el destino de la misma.

Versuch einer zusammenfassenden Beurteilung der historischen Bedeutung der Militärregierungen in Peru 1968-1980 anhand neuerer Veröffentlichungen zur wirtschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklung des Landes. Während Konsens darüber besteht, daß das Eingreifen der Militärs im Sinne der Modernisierung historisch notwendig war, gehen die Meinungen über die Erfolge ihrer Politik auseinander. Der Autor gibt abschließend einen Ausblick auf mögliche künftige Forschungsaufgaben

On the basis of evaluations made of the experience with the attempts to develop sectors of worker self-managed firms in Peru and Chile during the past decade, a number of lessons are derived concerning intermediary organizations, training, external integration, the role of managers and technicians, and legal and marketing problems. Unless the lessons learned are applied to the design of future infrastructures for organizational democracy, it is likely that the difficulties encountered in Peru and Chile will be repeated in other Third World countries.

This is the first of two articles analyzing the experience of selfmanagement firms and sectors in Peru and Chile. The origins of the firms and sectors in each country are described, their evolution and modifications, the role of governments and the part played by private support institutions. On the basis of a comparison of the experiences in the two countries conclusions are drawn concerning the conditions in which such attempts in Third World countries may or may not be successful.
