¿Gatopardismo progresista? Argentina, Bolivia y Chile durante el boom de las materias primas

Abstract

In "Progressive Leopardism?" Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile During the Commodity Boom, the author critically analyzes the experience of these countries' progressive governments during the first decade of the 21st century. Through a historical and political lens, he examines how, despite transformative discourses, these projects maintained—and even deepened—a model of development and international integration based on the exploitation and export of natural resources. With a keen eye, the book interrogates structural continuities, the limits of reformism and progressivism in contexts of economic dependence, and the tensions between politics, economics, and territory at the heart of the so-called "shift to the left" in Latin America. This work constitutes a key contribution to understanding the challenges of economic sovereignty, development models, and spaces of interdependence in a globalized world.
