Revolution and Reaction: The Diffusion of Authoritarianism in Latin America
Kurt Weyland
Descripción
Why did so many Latin American leftists believe they could replicate the Cuban Revolution in their own countries, and why did so many rightists fear the spread of Communism? Cognitive-psychological insights about people's distorted inferences and skewed interest calculations explain why the left held exaggerated hopes and why the right experienced excessive dread. The resulting polarization provoked a powerful backlash in which the right uniformly defeated the left. To forestall the feared spread of revolution, the military in many countries imposed authoritarian regimes and brutally suppressed left-wingers. Overly worried about the advance of Cuban-inspired radicalism as well, the United States condoned and supported the installation of dictatorship, but Latin American elites took the main initiative in these regressive regime changes. With a large number of primary and secondary sources, this book documents how the misperceptions on both sides of the ideological divide thus played a crucial role in the frequent destruction of democracy.

Weyland examines the efforts inspired by the Cuban Revolution to bring change to Latin America. These progressive initiatives, however, instilled fears of Communism and led the military to overthrow democracies in many countries. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in Latin American politics, democratization, and authoritarianism.
