Latin America has been neoliberal in the 1990s, leftist during the 2000s, then conservative in 2016-2018 and progressist again since 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reference to a right\/left\/right\/left sequence over a period of thirty years undoubtedly accounts for a singular pendulum pattern yet proves to be excessively simplistic. The right\/left dichotomy hides fractures and nuances that characterize each political camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to explain why some elections result in alternations and others do not. Based on an innovative theoretical framework and a unique collection of case studies, the book offers a rich understanding of Latin America's contemporary political evolutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVoters are getting accustomed to punishing incumbents for not delivering in time of crises, resulting in frequent alternations. It might be good for democracy, not so much for governability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282750136471,"sku":"9783031267635","price":9548.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031267635.webp?v=1769303071","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/latin-americas-pendular-politics-electoral-cycles-and-alternations-9783031267635","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
