Latin America in its Labyrinth
Six keys on the state of democracy in the region
What is Latin America looking to be? Where is politics going in the region? We developed six keys that will help us understand the state of Latin American democracy. We focus attention on the main alarms: trust in institutions and pluralistic elections has declined; tolerance for the possibility of coups d’état as a solution to management problems has increased; and the enchantment of authoritarian populism has gained grounds. We take an analytical approach to the democratic moment in the region, its main challenges and the pending tasks for the political system.
