The Will of the People: Populism and Citizen Participation in Latin
America argues that while populist leaders typically claim to speak
'in the name of the people', they rarely allow the people to
express their opinion independently through institutions of citizen
participation. The argument is rooted in theoretical discussions
and empirical analyses of trends and specific cases. The volume
deals with the following questions: Why is populism so prolific in
the Latin American region? How and where do populist leaders arrive
to power? Is there a connection between populism and fascism as
claimed by negative views of Argentinian Peronism? Are populist
leaders more keen on introducing mechanisms of direct citizen
participation? Are the erosions of the political party system an
explanation of the emergence of populism, as seems to be the case
with Fujimorism in Peru? To what extent have the governments of
Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales and Rafael Correa given voice to the
people through the so-called participatory democracy?
