Overview
Los presidentes en Latinoamérica tienen muchísimo poder… para emboscar a sus rivales, complotar, ocultar y robar. Pero, contra lo que suele creerse, disponen de muy poco margen de maniobra para hacer el bien. ¿Quién ha logrado reducir de forma sustancial los índices de violencia, por ejemplo? ¿Alguien ha conseguido acabar con el crimen organizado, consolidar las instituciones democráticas, fortalecer los contrapesos del sistema político o reducir la pobreza de forma radical y duradera en el tiempo?
Javier Moreno, exdirector del diario El País, conversó con siete expresidentes latinoamericanos y con decenas de altos cargos, quienes dieron pistas sobre los límites y la impotencia de la acción política, sobre cómo se gobierna la región en realidad, cuáles son los verdaderos retos de la gobernanza, así como sobre las fuerzas que desde la oscuridad inciden en la vida de 650 millones de seres humanos.
Así, a la luz de sus hallazgos y reflexiones, se replantea completamente el papel del populismo y el alcance del presidencialismo, y empezamos a ver de un modo muy distinto a los ejércitos, las iglesias, las distintas delincuencias, los pactos caciquiles, los empresarios voraces y los potentados de la corrupción…
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In Latin America, presidents have a lot of power... to ambush their rivals, engage in coverups and conspiracies, and loot their country’s coffers. At the same time, they have little space to maneuver when they want to do some good. Has any of the region’s leaders managed to lower the violence rate? Has any president successfully tackled organized crime, consolidated democracy, strengthened checks and balances, or significantly reduced poverty in the long term?
Javier Moreno, former director of Spain’s El País newspaper, interviewed seven former Latin American presidents and scores of high-ranking officials to explore the limits of political action, understand the true workings of government and its challenges, and the shadowy forces that influence the lives of 650 million human beings.
In light of these discoveries and reflections, he reconsiders the role of populism in the region’s history and the scope of presidential power. The result is a very different view of the military, church, criminal groups, strongman agreements, ruthless business interests and corrupt potentates …
