Week 5 – Caudillos vs the Nation State

I think the author does an excellent job in explaining that the Caudillos were “critical figures in societies torn by conflict, nations where citizens could not turn to civic institutions or processes to defend their interests” because that is a great description of Latin America back then but, more importantly, of modern Latin America.
