Description: Latin American Populism in the Twenty-First Century, Paperback by De La Torre, Carlos (EDT); Arnson, Cynthia J. (EDT), ISBN 1421410095, ISBN-13 9781421410098, Brand New, Free shipping in the US With the election of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and the subsequent elections of Evo Morales in Bolivia and Rafael Correa in Ecuador, scholarly commentary began to note a return to populism in Latin American politics. In this volume, De la Torre (sociology, Kentucky) and Arnson (director of the Latin American Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars) present 13 papers for the purposes of explaining the reemergence of populism, placing it in historical context, and exploring the continuities and differences between current leaders and those of the past, such as Argentina's Juan Perón and Brazil's Getúlio Vargas, and even such neoliberal neopopulists as Alberto Fujimori. Country case studies are presented investigating the historical patterns of populism in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, while other articles focus on more thematic topics, including populism and the party system, the nature of populist discourse and appeals, the social policies of populist regimes, and the characteristics of populist in the US by Johns Hopkins University Press.
