International Conference "About „Left“ and „Right“ Tides. Latin American Perspectives on Political Crisis"

Political imaginaries in Latin America are recently characterized by strong antagonisms and conflicts. In the 2000s the region has witnessed a considerable rise of left-wing governments. Some observers have called this conjuncture „pink tide“. Recently this „pink tide“ has been facing some strong internal political crises. The problems range from populism to political economic programs (neo-extractivism and redistribution) to transformations of the political culture.
