Nowadays there are only 13 democracies and Haiti (2010), Nicaragua (2014), Venezuela (2015) and Honduras (2017) stopped being democracies. A similar situation occurs with the quality of democracy, which we argue, has decreased in the last five years due to various internal causes (systematic corruption, delegitimization of the political class and of democracy itself, disaffection of citizens with respect to politics) and at least one external cause: economic slowdown. In any case, a new period of Latin American politics opens up from this year toward the end of this decade, in which 14 countries have or will have presidential elections, and a cycle of predominance of the left has ended (the &#8220;pink wave&#8221;). This paper proposes to describe the new configurations of Latin American politics and provide the keys to understand these changes.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u5bfe\u3000\u8c61 \/ Prospected Audience<\/h5>\n<p>Faculty and staff members of a university, grad students, undergraduates, the general public<\/p>\n<h5>\u4e3b\u3000\u50ac \/ Organizer<\/h5>\n<p>Waseda Institute of Advanced Studies, Waseda University<\/p>\n<h5>\u5171\u3000\u50ac \/ Co-organizer<\/h5>\n<p>Positive\/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy, Waseda University<\/p>\n<h5>\u7533\u8fbc\u307f \/ Registration<\/h5>\n<p>Free of charge.
