Resumen:
This paper addresses the emergence and growth of competitive right-wing parties in contemporary Latin America, in a context of left turn and of growing consensus of progressive social and cultural agendas. It places the core case of Argentinas Republican Proposal (PRO) party in comparative perspective with Chiles National Renovation (RN) party and Independent Democratic Union (UDI) party, with Colombias Democratic Center (CD) party and with the Bolivian regional party Social Democratic Movement, in an effort to understand their differing degrees of success in adverse circumstances. Based on long-term research using a variety of methods, I show that competitiveness has been driven by three factors: programmatic innovation by personalistic leaders; organizational mobilization of both core and noncore constituencies; and elite fear of the "Venezuela model."
