Summary:

Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, Bolivia's Evo Morales, and Ecuador's Rafael Correa have brought Latin American populism and again to the fore of scholarly as well as policy debate. Latin American Populism in the Twenty-First Century explains the emergence of today's radical populism and places it in historical context. Leading Latin American, U.S. and European authors explore the institutional and socio-economic conditions that give rise to populism and show how disputes over its meaning are closely intertwined with debates over the meaning of democracy.
