Abstract

This panel explores the dynamics of political opposition, elite recruitment, internal party democracy, and the evolution of right-wing thought in Latin America. Papers examine strategic decisions in legislative opposition, institutional influences on elite selection, party democracy’s impact on legislative behavior, and the ideological development of contemporary right-wing movements. By integrating empirical data and theoretical frameworks, this panel provides a nuanced understanding of political transformations in the region.
