Beschreibung

Argentina's Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period provides a comprehensive analysis of the course of right-wing politics in the country in the last 40 years.

In 1983, after the fall of a violent military regime, Argentina began the longest period of democratic stability in its history-40 years marked by economic, institutional, social and political crises. This book examines the trajectory of the different right-wing organisations and ideological developments during these years, seeking to understand both the distinctions and the continuities that lie beneath its metamorphoses. Argentina has always acted as a laboratory in which to appreciate how the major problems and questions that concern those who have studied the right-wing in recent decades are translated into a particular political culture. In an international scenario marked by the social and political growth of different right-wing movements, some of which pose a threat to liberal democracies, the study of the Argentine case can provide greater clarity and a different perspective on problems that transcend this specific national case.

This book will be of interest to scholars of Argentinian and Latin American politics and history, as well as specialists on the comparative politics of the radical right.

Rezensionen

"The study of right-wing politics has largely been ignored in Latin America in the twenty first century, as the region was defined by, and focused on, the pink tide of left populism. But as the fourth wave of the far right has washed ashore, it is crucial that journalists and scholars do not only look at similar movement abroad but also study the recent past of the domestic right-wing. This excellent edited volume on the right-wing in Argentina connects the past and present, stability and transformation, and national and regional developments. A blueprint for studies in other countries in the region!" Cas Mudde, University of Georgia, US.

"The book, assembling a wide ranging group of contributors, addresses a subject

outside the conventional range of studies on modern Argentina and Latin America, one likely to become increasingly salient during the current era of conservative populism." David Rock, University of Cambridge, UK.





"This is the first comprehensive book on the evolution of the Argentine right since 1983, in all its sectors and complexity. Including historical background and approaches ranging from political science, political philosophy, intellectual history, and gender and cultural studies, this timely and fascinating book provides an indispensable road map for understanding the shifts and transformations within the right in this country, as well as how international events and currents have affected it." Sandra McGee Deutsch, University of Texas, US.





"This book is, truly, everything you always wanted to know about the right in Argentina -politically, ideologically, institutionally, and historically- particularly since the return to democracy. It shows how, in so many different fields, two broad traditions of the right, both at odds with popular rule through most of the twentieth century, transformed themselves in a kaleidoscopic way (and in interaction with international trends), adapting to electoral politics. The various manifestations of the right are examined both in opposition and in power, either with Menem's Peronist government or Macri's anti-Peronist government. The contributions, analyzing political parties, social actors, and foreign relations, together constitute a clear must read for anyone with interest in Argentine politics and society." Pierre Ostiguy, University of Valparaíso, Chile.





"This is an important book on a country that has posed a puzzle for many decades. The editors have gathered an impressive array of contributors from a range of disciplines. Their analysis offers an exhaustive and fascinating exploration of how various European ideologies, ideas and doctrines came to be adopted and adjusted to the local context in Argentina to inform political action and government policy. In the process, they provide a wide range of insights that supply some clues as to 'what went wrong' in Argentina and why." Hans-Georg Betz, University of Zurich, Switzerland.
