The right in "new left" Latin America

Over the past decade, there has been a surge of 'new Left' governments in Latin America, yet polling data shows no comparable shift to the left among the general Latin American population. If electorates have not followed their political leaders to the left, then it is likely that new right-wing political actors will emerge to compensate for the leftward shift in Latin American politics. The author proposes a research agenda for studying right-wing politics in light of the current wave of left-leaning governments in the region. He argues that we should focus on four main areas of right-wing politics: the political agenda of right-wing groups; their political organization; their power capability; and the institutional environment in which they operate. This agenda requires that we move beyond the traditional focus on right-wing political parties and focus on right-wing organizations at all levels of formal politics, as well as groups that operate outside the formal political arena.... view less

Durante la última década han surgido en América Latina varios gobiernos de la llamada "nueva izquierda." Sin embargo, las encuestas no muestran un movimiento correspondiente hacia la izquierda en la opinión pública. Si los electorados latinoamericanos no siguen a algunos de sus líderes hacia la izquierda es muy probable que pronto veamos la (re)emergencia de actores políticos de corte derechista. Este ensayo propone un marco teórico y una agenda para el análisis de estos actores de derecha. Aquí se argumenta que deberíamos enfocarnos en cuatro temas principales: las agendas políticas de los grupos de derecha, sus formas de organización política, sus capacidades de aglutinar y usar varias fuentes de poder político, económico y social, y el ambiente institucional que servirá de contexto para su enfrentamiento con otros actores políticos. Esta agenda implica un cambio en los enfoques tradicionales sobre el estudio de la derecha que han puesto fuerte énfasis en los partidos políticos. En cambio, aquí propongo mover el análisis más allá y observar los diferentes tipos de organizaciones de derecha tanto a nivel local como nacional y tanto en sus manifestaciones informales como formales.... view less
