Abstract

The last decade in Latin America has been characterized by the rise to power of new governments in the region, which would have implemented social policies with redistributive effects and consolidated processes based on a leadership that produced political identification. The current political cycle that we refer to has aroused divergent characterizations by analysts. In recent years, there has been a weakening of a trend that seemed to go towards an expansion of this progressive political cycle with victories of these options in different countries, due to a context conditioned by the international crisis and due to the development of oppositions that have moved from their corporate expression to an attempt to influence the dispute for hegemony. This new form assumed by political oppositions, which have moved from their corporate expression to the hegemonic dispute of governments, has come to the fore in Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela, which we intend to analyze in this paper.

Keywords: Latin America, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, oppositions.
