The author is apparently a student at Whitman College in southeastern Washington state, and is probably doing a "junior year abroad" at a university in Argentina. He offers a comparison of the pseudo-democratic form of government in the US with that of Argentina which is commonly found throughout Latin American with some variations: clientelism.
Government, Part One: Fascism
Goverment, Part 2: Democracy + Part 3: Clientelism
