Although the left turn can be seen as a natural reaction to the public's general dissatisfaction with the conservative modernization policies of the 1980s and 1990s, left-of-center politics are by no means permanent. In \u003ci\u003eThe Resilience of the Latin American Right, \u003c\/i\u003e Juan Pablo Luna and Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser seek to \"right\" this view by explaining the strategies conservative political parties have used to maintain a foothold in the region's electoral and governance processes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors provide an analytical framework for conceptualizing the right that works for both historic and contemporary politics, and the volume's contributors use the framework to evaluate right-of-center political activity across the continent. They find that conservative forces are pursuing a range of adaptive strategies, including nonelectroral and nonpartisan tactics. The book's four thematic sections include an analysis of parties and elections in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents and scholars of both Latin American politics and comparative politics will find \u003ci\u003eThe Resilience of the Latin American Right\u003c\/i\u003e of vital interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Pablo Luna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421413892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421413891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 1052","brand":"Juan Pablo Luna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088211882239,"sku":"9781421413891","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d28e2754-7354-4dd0-8f75-3eb6d478e119.jpg?v=1769103676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-resilience-of-the-latin-juan-pablo-luna-9781421413891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
