Summary

Der Band beleuchtet Uruguays Transformation von einem Krisenherd im 19. Jahrhundert zu Lateinamerikas erster Sozialdemokratie, initiiert durch Präsident José Batlle y Ordóñez (1903–07, 1911–15) und die Krausisten-Bewegung. Zentral für die Staatsbildung war die Schulreform, die ihre Ursprünge in der Gründung der Society of Friends of Popular Education im Jahr 1868 hatte.
