Defiance Dispatch@defiancedispatch.bsky.social · 4mo ago

With a focus on Brazil, Chile, and Peru, we argue that the deepening of productive and financial subordination is one of the reasons why the recent wave of left-wing governments has fallen short of the inclusionary impact of the 2000s Pink Tide. Check the #OA paper here 👉 doi.org/10.1080/0969...

Subordinated integration and political waves in the 21st century Latin America

In the 2000s and early 2010s, Brazil, Peru, and Chile experienced leftist electoral victories, reflecting the regional trend known as the Pink Tide. However, in the mid-2010s, the erosion of the po...
