add to cart   close window

The article examines the spread of democratically elected governments in Latin America which have populist economic policies and are opposed to U.S. influence in their countries. The 2001 economic crisis in Argentina is seen as the catalyst for the movement. The region's governments are creating their own financial and economic institutions to lessen the influence of the U.S., the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund.
