Abstract

FIGUEROA IBARRA, Carlos  and  MORENO, Octavio H.. La contraofensiva conservadora en América Latina. Pap. trab. - Cent. Estud. Interdiscip. Etnolingüíst. Antropol. Sociocult. [online]. 2010, n.19. ISSN 1852-4508.

This piece of work presents a critical vision on the debate started last years by the arrival of left side governments in Latin America, specificly on those groups openly declared as opposite to the change of government in the countries of the zone. It is presented a review of the transformations that the politics in Latin America and the world has suffered immediately after the crisis of the neoliberalism and the fall of the former paradigms on the political and economic development. This scenario of changes is approached under the category of "post-neoliberalism", refered as a process of change in the dominant paradigms that have met transformed up to the point of throwing more questions that answers. The form is analyzed as the thought that we name "conservative" has approached the emergence of governments of left side in countries as Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia, to manifest itself openly as a "reactionary" to political change through the use of political and economic resources. Finally, an analysis on categories like "populism" or "demagoguery" is presented, concepts that have gathered strength in the political contemporary debate, as well as the presence of worries over the undemocratic character of the governments of left side in Latin America. In the matter, the most recent formulation assumes the scenario in terms of a conflict between "democracy" and "authoritarianism" as well as it was happening in times of the cold war.

Keywords : Crisis; Post-neoliberalism; Conservatism; Democracy; Populism.
