Success of the Left in Latin America
2013
Overview
Why, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, have so
many Latin American countries elected governments identifying
themselves with the ideological Left? In The Success of the
Left in Latin America: Untainted Parties, Market Reforms, and
Voting Behavior , Rosario Queirolo argues that the \"pink tide\"
that swept across Latin America beginning in the late 1990s-with
the election of a growing number of leftist political candidates to
public office-was caused by the intent of voters to punish
political parties unable to improve the economic well-being of
their electorates. She argues that Latin Americans vote based on
performance, ousting those whom they perceive as responsible for
economic downturns, and ushering into power those in the \"untainted
opposition,\" which has been the Left in most Latin American
countries.
Queirolo argues that the effects of neoliberal economic reforms
did not produce more votes for political parties on the Left.
Rather, the key variable is unemployment. Left-leaning parties in
Latin America increase their electoral chances when unemployment is
high. In addition to explaining recent electoral successes of
leftist parties, The Success of the Left in Latin America
also undermines a dominant scholarly view of Latin Americans as
random and unpredictable voters by showing how the electorate at
the polls holds politicians accountable.
