LUPU, Noam; OLIVEROS, Virginia  and  SCHIUMERINI, Luis. Derecha y democracia en América Latina. Poblac. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.2, pp.80-100. ISSN 0328-3445.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/pys-2021-280205.

We explore the relationship between the right turn and authoritarian backlash in Latin America in terms of public opinion. Is there evidence of a right turn in public opinion? What is the relationship at the individual level between ideology and democratic support, particularly among those who identify with the right? Are people who identify with the “new right” less committed to democracy than other citizens? We study these questions using six waves of public opinion surveys conducted in 17 Latin American countries between 2008 and 2019.

Keywords : Right; Democracy; Ideology; Public opinion; Surveys.
