The Americas as Right-Wing Transnational Space -- Part 2. Genesis and Development of Right-Wing Actors -- Part 3. Contemporary Expressions of the Right -- Part 4. Conclusions. "The Right in the Americas discusses the origins, development and current state of conservative and right-wing movements in ten countries in the Americas. The growth of the right is one of the most important issues of the moment in global politics. Within the context of democracy erosion, rejection of traditional politics and economic uncertainty, right and extreme-right actors are capable of offering misguided answers and hope to a significant part of a country's population, who will trust their promises and bring them to power with their vote. This dynamic has repeated itself in an astonishingly consistent pattern across the Americas. This book analyses eight Latin American countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela, along with Canada and the United States, two G7 countries. It demonstrates that conservatism is in fact a Hemispheric phenomenon, promoted and invigorated by the regional hegemon-the United States of America-both as government and civil society. Beyond this regional scope, the peculiarities of each case study are explored in detail, providing solid historical background, while at the same time uncovering their commonalities and cross-pollination. This study will be of great interest to scholars of conservatism, right-wing politics, comparative politics, North American, and Latin American politics"-- |
