Abstract

In this interview, the social scientist and international policy expert Jean-Jacques Kourliandsky assesses the current political landscape in Latin America. Although in the great majority of Latin American countries, in the last decades, democracy has demonstrated its proper functioning through the conquest of electoral rights, there is currently a reflux regarding these rights and conservative and extreme right ideas are gaining strength, which flirt with authoritarianism. In response to the theme of the event “Discourse and (post) truth. Effects of reality and meanings of conviction”, the researcher also relates to this political reflux the spread and circulation of untruths.
