Join Review of Democracy Latin American Editor Gabriel Pereira as he hosts Andrés Malamud,
a leading scholar of Latin American politics, to discuss a crucial development in current political affairs: the rise
of successful political outsiders in Latin America.
The podcast focuses on and draws lessons from the experience of current Argentine president Javier Milei. It delves into pivotal questions: How do outsiders get elected in a political system designed to secure electoral competition among established political leaders? How do they navigate
constraints posed by legislatures dominated by opposition? Does the rise of political outsiders from the global north influence the progress of these Latin American leaders? Does the radical right-wing ideology of outsiders make them
more effective? What are the lessons for understanding current Latin American politics?
