SOCIAL JUSTICE IN LATIN AMERICA DILEMMAS OF DEMOCRACY AND REVOLUTION Eric Selbin Department of Political Science Southwestern University Georgetown, TX 78627-0770 e-mail: eselbin@southwestern.edu This is a very rough draft; Comments are welcome, but please do not cite without permission Prepared for Delivery at the 1998 Meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Chicago, Illinois, USA. The thoughts rather hastily cobbled together here have been influenced by a number of people; most importantly those include my daughters, Jesse and Zoe Cordes Selbin, and Helen Cordes. I am also appreciative of the students in my Comparative Political Ideologies classes who allow me to play with ideas with them. None of these people, obviously, are responsible for any of the errors you might find here.
