In any city there have always been places where it is best not to go. Dark streets where cold wind carries paper trash along the sidewalk like tumbleweed and hostile eyes watch you pass without seeming to look. Brighter places warped by corruption, where darkness lives in the heart and the soul. Ordinary places where ordinary people are swept up in the gale of events and carried away to fates darker than they ever imagined. Lock the doors and draw the window curtains. Retreat into your deepest sanctuary. Take a walk on the wrong side of life.

Paperback. Condition: Good. This book presents case studies around issues of national development, right wing populism and use of social media, left wing authoritarianism and popular uprisings as well as reflections on short and long term political and economic cycles in Latin America in the past 10 years.Scholars, government and civil society practitioners have long recognized both the democratic and development deficit in Latin American countries, as well as their potential. The path towards a consolidated democratic state and civil society, as well as socio-economic collective well-being, has been far from linear and this edited collection provides theoretical clarity on the social, political and economic dynamics driving these changes such as historical cycles in the commodities market, the emergence of new social movements, the rise and pitfalls of populism, the influence of corporate media, and the erosion of democratic institutions. The chapters in this volume approach the topic of Latin American right and Left forces by attempting to determine whether a new and potentially long-term political cycle is unfolding in the region. To this end, the chapters focus on a perspective that compares the emergence of the new Right with the successes and limitations of the previous 20 years of Pink Tide governance.This volume will be of great use to students and researchers interested in Latin American studies, comparative politics as well as political leadership. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of>Globalizations. Seller Inventory # 00099347498
