The focus for students of Latin America in the past decade has been
on the political forces of the left and the so-called "pink tide"
presidencies attempting to bring about social and economic change
in the region. However, there has been far less attention paid to
the rightwing political forces resisting such change. Such
opposition is being orchestrated by political parties, business,
the private media and other social and cultural institutions and is
linked to the "soft power" of US diplomacy. In recent years its
activities have often appeared to challenge the democratic process
itself. This volume, from the editors of the acclaimed "Reclaiming
Latin America, " addresses the current trajectories of rightwing
politics in Latin America in the face of leftist governments and
regional alliances, the discrediting of neoliberalism, and the
decline of US hegemony. It includes overview chapters on historical
context and rightwing typologies; US policy towards Latin America;
the role of US-based think-tanks; the role of transnational
business and of the private media, as well as offering
country-specific chapters on key states with rightwing governments
(Mexico, Colombia and Peru) and on opposition to left-of-center
governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Brazil, Paraguay,
Argentina and Chile. It will also consider the recent political
victories obtained by the Latin American right through the polls
and by force in Chile, Panama and Honduras. A revealing and
important book for anyone interested in contemporary Latin American
politics.
