Description

What promotes or hinders the advance of conservative parties in Latin The us? What does this augur for the stable representation of the propertied and socially privileged in political parties? In Class and Conservative Parties, Edward L. Gibson examines these questions in light of Latin The us’s long legacies of authoritarianism and democratic instability.

Gibson explores these questions theoretically, historically and comparatively. He develops an method to the comparative study of conservative parties that sheds new theoretical light at the social dynamics of party politics. Historically, he traces the determinants of conservative party development in Argentina, providing a wealthy analysis of the way interactions between conservatism’s elite “core constituencies,” party leaders, and the state shaped the upward thrust and fall of conservative parties within the 19th and 20th centuries. Gibson also presents a comparative examination of conservative party politics in Latin The us throughout the 1980s and 1990s and offers a thoughtful sit up for conservatism’s future within the region.
