Description
Changing Course in Latin America explores the dramatic transformations in Latin American party systems during the neoliberal era. Kenneth M. Roberts provides a comprehensive analysis of how political parties across the region responded to and were reshaped by neoliberal economic reforms implemented from the 1980s onward.
The book examines the collapse of traditional party alignments, the rise of new political movements, and the shifting bases of electoral support in countries throughout Latin America. Roberts argues that neoliberal policies created new cleavages in society, fundamentally altering the landscape of political competition and party organization.
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series, this work combines historical narrative with rigorous comparative analysis to explain why some parties adapted successfully to the new economic model while others declined. It provides crucial insights into the relationship between economic policy, social change, and political institutions in Latin America.
