In the article “Coloniality of Power and Eurocentrism in Latin America”, Anibal Quijano (2000) discusses why democracies in Latin American countries tend to be fragile. In the book “Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty”, Acemoglu and Robinson (2012) also discuss why democratic institutions in Latin America tend to be weak. Write an essay comparing these two views. What are the points of convergence (where is there agreement between the two viewpoints)? What are the points of divergence (issues about which the authors disagree)? Identify clearly what are the ideas from each piece, and discuss them in comparisson with one another.
