- W2550763289 abstract "This book is an attempt to explain military coups in Latin America on the basis of an examination of some 30 post-World War II cases. The objective of the study is admirable enough, to be sure, but the enterprise suffers from methodological problems which are never really resolved. In their early pages the authors proclaim a species of antiquantitative bias. They point out that numbers alone cannot explain the substantial difference between the Panamanian coup of 1949 and the Cuban revolution of 1959, and they proceed to fabricate a technique expected to provide the necessary explanatory power. Reduced to its essentials, the Solau'n-Quinn formula is made up of two components. The first is a distinction between superficial military coups d'etat and more profound revolutions. (Hence the title of the book-coups are made by sinners, revolutions by heretics.) So far so good. If not ingenious, this distinction is at least obvious. The difficulties center around the formula's second component. The authors implement their antipathy toward numbers by watering them down. The reader is provided with a curious mix of structural-functional analysis with an emasculated quantitative approach, to which some legal considerations are added for good measure. Observers wondering if this will work need not hold their breath very long. On the one hand, this reviewer can understand and sympathize with what Solauin and Quinn tried to do. Not all countries are the same, not all coups are the same, not all sinners-let us face itare the same, and not everybody trusts numbers to provide the local color explaining the differences. Applause can be mustered for the authors' desire to achieve a viable species of in-depth analysis. But the project founders on a methodological formula which seeks to have things too many incompatible and mutually inconsistent ways at once. What begins as an attempt at synthesis eventually turns out to be ambivalence. What happens when structural-functional analysis, numbers, and legal propositions are mixed together is, essentially, what always happens when apples, oranges, and plums are weighed together in the same bag.
