L’America Latina tra “giro all’izquierda”, “ola populista” e “nuova destra”

Latin America between ‘turn to the izquierda’, ‘populist ola’ and ‘new right’

Abstract

This essay aims at reconstructing the main and contradictory socio-political, economic and cultural transformations of Latin America, starting from the crisis of the propulsive thrust of the Second Pink Ola, to the revanche of the 'new right', which seems to be taking hold in the continent, from the crushing victory obtained by the new president of the Argentine Republic, Javier Gerardo Milei, on 19 November 2023.

Keywords: Latin America; Nationalism; Ola rosa; Crisis of democracy; New right
