Abstract
Neopopulist politics is a fundamental element conditioning the impact of political democracy on women’s movements’ opportunity structures in some Latin American countries such as Peru in the 1990s. As shown in this book, neopopulism has negative effects on the institutional checks and balances and undermines collective action in civil society. This has a specific impact on women’s citizenship, mediated by class and ethnic social structures. The case of Peru reveals that neopopulism can produce advances in women’s citizenship construction even if these are limited and fragile. Overall, a gendered analysis of neopopulism under Fujimori highlights important paradoxes for the study of democratization and gender politics in Latin America.
