Populism And Neopopulism In Latin America: Clientelism, Trade Union Organisation And Electoral Support In Mexico And Argentina In The ‘90s, Veronica Ronchi May 2007

In spite of a slight improvement in some macroeconomic indexes, in Latin America neoliberalism failed to reduce poverty and unemployment, and was unable to …
