Polarization and Democracy in Latin AmericaLegacies of the Left Turn
Through a comparative analysis of seven South American countries, Santiago Anria and Kenneth M. Roberts trace the different origins and trajectories in power of the populist and social democratic currents that emerged within the left turn. Anria and Roberts argue that today’s democratic orders face intensifying polarization and institutional fragility, even where social democratic parties made explicit efforts to build broad coalitions and temper political conflict. They show how activist networks and social movements on the left and the right triggered latent political conflicts and are now reshaping democratic competition and the terms of social inclusion in South American politics.

Trumps gefährlichster Ideologe
Wenn Donald Trump den Staat anfeindet, die Justiz angreift oder gegen Migranten hetzt, dann stehen hinter seinen schärfsten Worten oft die Gedanken eines Mannes: Stephen Miller. Der stellvertretende Stabschef im Weißen Haus und Berater für innere Sicherheit hat Trump mit radikalen Ideen schon zur ersten Präsidentschaft verholfen. In der zweiten Trump-Ära setzt Miller zum Frontalangriff auf die US-Demokratie an. Wie einflussreich und gefährlich Trumps Scharfmacher ist und wie er Amerika für immer verändern will, erklärt Reinhard Heinisch. Er ist Politikwissenschafter an der Universität Salzburg.
