Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #35972 Southern Cone
Instructions
In  the  southern  cone  especially,  from  Venezuela  to  Argentina,  the  region  is  rising  to  overthrow  the  legacy  of  external    of  the  past  centuries  and  the  cruel  and  destructive  social  forms  that  they  have  helped  to  establish.
The    of  imperial  control  -  violence  and  economic  warfare,  hardly  a  distant  memory  in  Latin  America-are  losing  their  effectiveness,  a  sign  of  the  shift  toward  independence.  Washington  is  now  compelled  to  tolerate  governments  that  in  the  past  would  have  drawn  intervention  or  reprisal.
Throughout  the  region  a  vibrant    of  popular  movements  provide  the  basis  for  a  meaningful  democracy.  The  indigenous  populations,  as  if  in  a  rediscovery  of  their  pre-Columbian  legacy,  are  much  more  active  and  influential,  particularly  in  Bolivia  and  Ecuador.  These  developments  are  in  part  the  result  of  a  phenomenon  that  has  been  observed  for  some  years  in  Latin  America:  As  the  elected  governments  become  more  formally  democratic,  citizens    an  increasing  disillusionment  with  democratic  institutions.  They  have  sought  to  construct  democratic  systems  based  on  popular  participation  rather  than  elite  and  foreign  .
