Discuss the post-transition challenges experienced by two countries of Latin America.

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the post-transition challenges experienced by two countries of Latin America. The two countries and the post-transition challenges they faced may or may not have been contemporaneous with each other. The challenges experienced will be dependent upon the countries chosen, but candidates should be aware of the multitude of diverse challenges faced during the post-transition period. The challenges may predate the post-transition timeframe, but they must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may refer to economic challenges such as poverty, foreign debt, inflation and economic dependence; political challenges such as weak political institutions, creating a constitution and disenfranchisement; social challenges such as inequality, illiteracy and multiple ethnicities.
