"I think Bolivia's experience as a consolidating democracy is in the Latin American context instructive at least in searching for ways and mechanisms to solve some basic problems of presidentialist regimes as stalemate betweeen executive-legislative, immobilism and minority governments. As Scott Mainwaring argues, most presidentialist systems in Latin America pose the fundamental problem of being embedded in multiparty systems with proportional representation.
