Democracy In Guatemala

Democracy In Guatemala
Robert Kaplan is skeptical about the possibility of democracy in most of the world. He believes most countries don't need democracy, and that many are not ready for it. He also argues that democracy often leads to violence and chaos.
Assess the validity of Kaplan's concerns with respect to Guatemala. Is democracy a good/possible outcome for this country, or not?

In your assessment:
*Describe the recent historical circumstances or background under which democracy was implemented.
*What does democracy actually look like in the country? How does it work?
*What would it take for democracy to flourish? (Dont forget to define what you mean by democracy.)
