This framework, which includes the nonindustrial world, treats both violence and democratic processes as normal methods of political competition. Deductive in nature, the theory redefines political variables according to their economic counterparts. Chaffee applies microeconomic theory to generate hypotheses and conclusions, using examples from Latin America to illustrate the efficacy of the framework. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Economics of Violence in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e will interest political scientists, economists, and policy-makers, especially those concerned with democratic theory and practice in the nonindustrialized world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWILBER ALBERT CHAFFEE, JR., is Professor and Chair in the Department of Government at Saint Mary's College in Moraga, California.
