why did democracy fail in argentina?

To many social programs and not enough money to pay for them and too much military power in their govt.  Former dictator Peron and his socialist policies have ruined democracy in Argentina for decades.

There were 2 versions. The government keeps a lot that goes on closed to public these days so it's hard to tell what they're up to at times. If it weren't for some stuff trickling into the media we'd never know much of anything. Pretty pathetic. What happened to our democracy?

The U.S. is a representative republic. A true democracy would never work on a large scale.

Socialism has failed in almost every nation its ever been tried in, and the few still left arent doing so good. Socialism takes away the importance of the individual, and as soon as you do that resentment and discontent are inevitable. Also, whenever a group takes responsibility for something instead of the individual, you have a "public bathroom". no one is responsible for it, so everyone uses it, but no one cleans it, and after awhile it gets pretty nasty.

You obviously dont know a whole lot about the situation.  The King took power from the Democracy when the Communists started revolting.  He did it to keep them from seizing power.  He has promised to reinstate democracy when the revolt has been put down.  Instead the Commies have been doing well as of late, and others are joining with them, because they are unhappy that Democracy isnt back yet.  Unfortunately if the King does fall, what you will likely see is the worlds newest Communist government, almost certainly not Democracy.

No the proof of history does not bear the statements about democracy has failed--look at SK, japan, germany and easter europe, democarcy is the winner, blind fundamnetalism beliefs are the long term loser.

Since the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos the Philipines political landscape has been marked with instability -- i.e. coups and potential coups -- so this current episode seems par for the course.  Furthermore, martial law is never the "answer" when it comes to governance.  Democracy depends upon government respecting the will of the people, and unless the Philipine's armed forces get THAT message then instability will be all that that nation knows, at least for the foreseeable future.

Nepal's got some problems, they got Maoist revolutionaries knocking down the front door, and a monarchy that needs to leave by the back door , so democracy can form. Am very surprised the US is just idly watching this. We're on the verge of losing Nepal to China.It wouldn't take as much to form a democracy there, as say Afghanistan, If we could just get the monarchy to listen, and let us or India, anyone really,{except China} put in a few thousand troops for stability.

Short answer: The worst kind\n\nComplicated but politically correct answer: Its a republic. The previous answer sums it up, although throughout much of pakistan's history they've had a military ruler often bordering a dictator-like manner of rule.`\n\nThere are several reasons for pakistan's democracy's failure to perform:\n1) The military has been an important influence in the country because of the 3 wars with India and American funding to support the Taliban militarily in the 80s.\n\n2) Corruption is rampant and many political leaders are uneducated. The educated have very little patience for politics and those that do join politics end up leading organizations like the MQM, an almost separatist movement.\n\n3) Pakistan has never had the opportunity to develop a good model of democracy. The country's founder, the man with the main vision died soon after independence and ever since pakistanis have been debating whether he intended Pakistan to be an Islamic nation with Islamic laws, or a nation of muslims with secular laws.\n\n4) Pakistan is a very diverse country in terms of religion (many sects of islam and other religious minorities), ethnicity, education, and income. Makes it harder to get to a common ground. While the same can be said about the US, keep in mind that the US has had constant waves of immigration form different parts of the world for over 200 years. Pakistan on the other hand practically had 500,000 people move there from india within the space of 1 to 2 years.
