"Transcripts of analysis of Dec. 1992 municipal elections. Jorge Lazarte, the country's leading sociologist, notes the high level of voter absenteeism, inability of the left to reconstitute itself, and the commendable transparency of the process. Carlos Meza, historian and Bolivia's leading television anchor, provides a good comparative view of three municipal elections and notes characteristics of political parties"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
