El carisma de las sucesoras: entrevista a Caitlin Andrews-Lee
2026
Overview
Desde hace algunos años, la figura de los liderazgos carismáticos –vinculados a menudo a movimientos populistas– se ha vuelto un rasgo prominente de la política internacional, incluso en democracias consolidadas. No obstante, la discusión política sobre el carisma permanece mayormente vinculada a las ideas desarrolladas hace más de un siglo por Max Weber, para quien este tipo de autoridad se caracteriza por su carácter extraordinario y efímero. En su último libro, The Emergence and Revival of Charismatic Movements: Argentine Peronism and Venezuelan Chavismo, que recibió el premio Leon Epstein de la American Political Science Association, la profesora Caitlin Andrews-Lee desafía esta tesis centenaria y plantea una teoría alternativa. Respaldada por evidencia obtenida mediante experimentos, entrevistas y grupos de enfoque en América Latina, la académica de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte, en Chapel Hill, sugiere que los movimientos fundados por este tipo de liderazgo pueden persistir y reemerger como fuerzas políticas poderosas gracias a su núcleo personalista, y no a pesar de éste. César Morales Oyarvide dialoga con Andrews-Lee sobre la dificultad de definir el carisma, los dilemas que enfrentan tanto quienes suceden a personajes como Hugo Chávez como quienes se les oponen, y el rol del género en el liderazgo de las mujeres que han llegado a dirigir estos movimientos, como la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum. In recent years, charismatic leadership figures—often linked to populist movements—have become a prominent feature of international politics, even in consolidated democracies. However, the political discussion of charisma remains tied mainly to the ideas developed more than a century ago by Max Weber, who characterized this type of authority as extraordinary and ephemeral. In her latest book, The Emergence and Revival of Charismatic Movements: Argentine Peronism and Venezuelan Chavismo, which received the Leon Epstein Award from the American Political Science Association, Professor Caitlin Andrews-Lee challenges this century-old thesis and proposes an alternative theory. Backed by evidence from experiments, interviews, and focus groups in Latin America, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scholar suggests that movements founded by this type of leadership can persist and reemerge as powerful political forces, rather than in spite of it, thanks to their personalistic core. César Morales Oyarvide talks with Andrews-Lee about the difficulty of defining charisma, the dilemmas faced by both, those personalities who succeed—such as Hugo Chávez—and those who oppose them, as well as the role of gender among women who have come to lead these movements, such as President Claudia Sheinbaum.
