Liberal and Illiberal Democracy,

AND NOW…? Liberal Democracy (n=7)  Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Panama, Uruguay Illiberal Democracy (n=7)  Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru Illiberal Semidemocracy (n=5)  Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Venezuela Authoritarian (1)  Cuba

Why Illiberal Democracy? In case of center and center-right democracies, the illiberal regimes:  Protect elite interests  Control the popular masses  Under the rubric of free and fair elections  Thus gaining international approval. In case of progressive “new left” regimes, the opposition:  Has the money  Has control of the press  Does not play by democratic rules

SO WHAT? CYCLES OF MASS POLITICS  Unfettered and “dangerous” democracy (e.g., reformists + Allende) [1950s-]  Military coups and authoritarian regimes [1960s-]  Democracy contained [1980s-]:  Neoliberal economics, Washington consensus  Institutional constraints (e.g. MRO)  Illiberal democracy  Rise of the “new Left” [1990s-]
