Cult-of-personality or true democracy? The rise of populism worldwide, combined with the overwhelming success of leaders in Latin America, has positioned the region at the forefront of political debate. Conventional wisdom presents this trend as a handful of charismatic individuals leading an ideological challenge to liberal democracy. But can it really be that simple?Based on exclusive interviews with over three hundred politicians – former presidents, vice presidents, current party officials and hundreds more – Latin America's Leaders exposes what the Pink Tide really thinks of its presidents. Arguing that the political styles of leaders such as Hugo Chávez, Rafael Correa, Álvaro Uribe and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are far better explained in the context of their respective countries' party systems, the authors examine political stability through the paradoxical relationship between democracy and the concentration of power in charismatic individuals.This is the definitive guide to the world's most left-wing continent.

El populismo es un fenomeno que cada vez esta mas presente en muchos paises de Europa y de las Americas. Surge como critica a varios de los principios liberal-democraticos en los que se han fundado la mayoria de los sistemas politicos occidentales. Ademas, el discurso populista pretende modificar algunos de los cimientos del orden internacional liberal, por ejemplo, la libre circulacion de bienes, capitales y personas, la cooperacion multilateral y la promocion de la democracia. Sin embargo, la agenda internacional del populismo es tambien su aspecto menos estudiado. Por este motivo, un importante grupo de academicos europeos y latinoamericanos explora en esta obra la politica exterior de los movimientos y lideres populistas. Entre otros temas, se indaga acerca de como repercute el populismo en la politica exterior de los Estados, que nuevos temas y discursos propone, o cual es su aportacion a cuestiones como la globalizacion, el comercio, la seguridad y las migraciones. Mediante varios estudios de caso de Europa y de las Americas, el libro averigua si existe un nucleo de valores internacionales comun a los populismos de diferente ideologia y procedencia geografica, o si tales diferencias son demasiado amplias para que se pueda hablar de una internacional populista.
