Right in Latin America

<p></p> <p>A multi-faceted inter-disciplinary approach and rich empirical data enables <em>Understanding the Latin American Right </em>to provide an important contribution to the debate on the nature aims and strategies of the contemporary Latin American right. The book first discusses the validity of right/left cleavages within a context of democratization. Second a political sociological approach is used in field research which covers Chile Colombia Argentina and Venezuela. Cannon completed extensive interviews with three different populations in these countries: representatives of right-identified civil society organizations political actors on the right and academic experts of different ideological stances. Finally this book concerns itself not just with right attitudes to state/society relations and inequalities at the national level but how these are interlinked into wider processes of globalization.</p>
