Legacies of the Left Turn in Latin America: The Promise of
Inclusive Citizenship contains original essays by a diverse group
of leading and emerging scholars from North America, Europe, and
Latin America. The book speaks to wide-ranging debates on
democracy, the left, and citizenship in Latin America. What were
the effects of a decade and a half of left and center-left
governments? The central purpose of this book is to evaluate both
the positive and negative effects of the Left turn on state-society
relations and inclusion. Promises of social inclusion and the
expansion of citizenship rights were paramount to the center-left
discourses upon the factions' arrival to power in the late 1990s
and early 2000s. This book is a first step in understanding to what
extent these initial promises were or were not fulfilled, and why.
In analyzing these issues, the authors demonstrate that these years
yield both signs of progress in some areas and the deepening of
historical problems in others. The contributors to this book reveal
variation among and within countries, and across policy and issue
areas such as democratic institution reforms, human rights,
minorities' rights, environmental questions, and violence. This
focus on issues rather than countries distinguishes the book from
other recent volumes on the left in Latin America, and the book
will speak to a broad and multi-dimensional audience, both inside
and outside the academic world. Contributors: Manuel Balan,
