Abstract
Subject Latin American populism. Significance Latin America has a long history of populist leaders, who aimed to build direct links with the electorate. Primarily a response to economic and political inequality, it traditionally calls for income redistribution and weakening the economic elite. It has often but not always contributed to economic crisis over the medium term. Latin American populism has also had a contradictory impact on democracy, expanding the rights of some groups but also weakening key institutions. Impacts Persistent inequality may drive a new shift towards populism in Latin America. Right-wing populist models elsewhere will prove more exclusionary. Populism and weak institutions are likely to remain mutually reinforcing.
