Abstract

OpenAlex es

A social democracy index designed to adjudicate among positions in the debate on the extent to which the political left in Latin America has been leftist shows empirically that both the maximalist Marxist and the liberal institutionalist perspectives are inaccurate. Most countries belonging to the so-called radical-left camp have undergone substantial social democratic achievements since their electoral victories. Moreover, the uneven distribution of social democracy performance in so-called moderate and radical camps casts serious doubt on the homogeneity of these country groupings. Un índice del nivel de socialdemocracia diseñado para establecer las distintas posiciones en el debate sobre el grado de izquierdismo en la izquierda política de América Latina da muestra empírica de la inexactitud de tanto la perspectiva marxista maximalista como de la institucionalista liberal. La mayoría de los países pertenecientes al llamado campo de la izquierda radical han experimentado logros socialdemócratas sustanciales a partir de sus victorias electorales. Además, la distribución desigual de los resultados del proyecto socialdemócrata entre los llamados campos moderados y radicales arroja serias dudas sobre la homogeneidad inherente a estas agrupaciones de países.
