"Populism has been considered to be a movement of the 1940s and 1950s, but this study gives evidence that it continues to be an important ingredient in Latin American politics today."--Edward H. Moseley, The University of Alabama
Reseña del editor
From the earliest years in the La Plata region to the end of the 1990s, Latin American populists proved amazingly successful at gaining high office, holding onto power, maintaining their followings and renewing their careers. They raised more campaign money, got more voters to the polls, and held followers' allegiances far better than traditional politicians. Certainly some populist leaders corrupted their countries, others manipulated their followers, and still others disgraced themselves. Nevertheless, populist leaders were extraordinarily effective in reaching masses of voters, and some left positive legacies for future generations. This book aims to provide a thought-provoking assessment of the most prominent of these colourful and charismatic leaders, whose impact has been profound yet not fully recognized. Latin American scholars here survey the populist experiences in those nations most profoundly influenced by this distinctively Latin American way of conducting the public's business -Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama. Joel Horowitz, for example, examines Argentina's strong legacy of populism, beginning with the remarkable Hipolito Yrigoyen, moving through the archetypal Juan and Evita Peron, and ending with still-active President Carlos Menem. Ximena Sosa-Buchholz provides a fascinating view of populism in Ecuador, a country often overlooked by students of modern politics. Kurt Weyland challenges the notion that neoliberal, or monetarist, economic policies are incompatible with populism. Other populist leaders profiled include Lazaro Cardenas, Romulo Betancourt and Alberto Fujimori to name a few.
