{"product_id":"9783031267611","title":"Latin America's Pendular Politics: Electoral Cycles and Alternations","description":"​This book explores pendular politics in Latin America, focusing on electoral cycles with a pattern of similar results. Latin America has been neoliberal in the 1990s, leftist during the 2000s, then conservative in 2016-2018 and progressist again since 2018.\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":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46554150142193,"sku":"9783031267611","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9783031267611_p0.jpg?v=1765561183","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783031267611","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
