	Bibliography on Party Politics in Uruguay, 1950-62
		Although much attention has been given to Uruguay's experiments with committee executives and her extensive welfare program, the parties are seldom treated in depth in the literature contained in our information file.
		Code 680 (governmental structure and political history) merits a great deal of attention, because the most active period in Uruguay's political system came in the early 1900's, when Jose Battle rebuilt the Colorado Party, put through an amazingly inclusive welfare program, and began an experiment in the committee.
		Because Uruguay is so different from her neighbors in Latin America, it seems that theoretical works would thrive as scholars sought an understanding of her party politics.

		Uruguay's democracy successfully weathered the brutal economic crisis of 2002, but at an enormous social cost, with one million of the country's 3.2 million people sliding into poverty.

		Feminists were successful in challenging the subordination of women in politics; however, Argentine women did not obtain the vote until 1947.
