Workshop: E106 Latin American debates at the time of the return of the "leftists”

The return of the left in Latin America is accompanied by fierce debates between political forces and social movements around extractivism, development models, the position of indigenous peoples and their organisations, democratic measures and even the geopolitical positioning of these governments.

While a few years ago the so-called "progressive" governments were in deep crisis and often driven from power to the benefit of reactionary and ultraliberal governments, we are now witnessing a series of victories by left-wing parties in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Honduras, hybrid parties breaking with reactionary parties in Mexico and Argentina, and the possibility of victory for the left in Colombia and Brazil.

But this return of the lefts in Latin America is accompanied by lively debates between political forces and social movements around extractivism, development models, the position of indigenous peoples and their organisations, democratic measures, and the geopolitical positioning of these governments.

We have invited Latin American activists and solidarity movements in Europe to this workshop.
