Unlike traditional Latin American dictatorships, those of the twenty-first century have not been established by the military but by civilian politicians who were voted into power by the people to govern their countries subject to the provisions of the constitution and the law. Once the leaders assumed the presidency, however, they ignored the constitution under which they were elected and replaced it with one tailored to their political ambitions, using the broad powers assigned to them to remain in power indefinitely. This is what Presidents Hugo ChaÌvez and NicolaÌs Maduro in Venezuela, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Rafael Correa in Ecuador, Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador have all done. Hurtado explains the paradox of this new Latin American authoritarian trend occurring when, for the first time in the history of the subcontinent, democratic institutions governed in all countries, with the sole exception of Cuba." -- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Dictatorship $z Latin America $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Authoritarianism $z Latin America $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Latin America $x History $y 21st century. 651 6 $a AmeÌrique latine $x Politique et gouvernement $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Dictature $z AmeÌrique latine $x Histoire $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Autoritarisme $z AmeÌrique latine $x Histoire $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Caribbean & Latin American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Authoritarianism $2 fast 650 7 $a Dictatorship $2 fast 650 7 $a Political culture $2 fast 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast 651 7 $a Latin America $2 fast 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 700 1 $a Sipe, Barbara, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hurtado, Osvaldo. $t Dictatorships in twenty-first-century Latin America. $d Lanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, [2023] $z 9781538171097 $w (OCoLC)1343008660 $w (OCoLC)1343008660 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724030159.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78055CCC498311EFAB853F282BECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
