Democracias restringidas y neoliberalismo en la región andina (1985-2010)

Abstract

In this article, the author analyzes the profound changes in the political and economic systems of the countries of the Andean region (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela) between 1985 and 2010. In these twenty-five years, the countries followed two different paths: for some, the route was the resurgence of national popular governments; for others, the establishment of authoritarian governments. The central theme of this article is how these changes took place and the developmental models that were followed.
