Nuevas perspectivas en los estudios sobre la democratización. El papel de los actores internacionales. La internacional socialista en américa latina (1974-1992)

Abstract

The paper aims to revitalize the discussion on the role of the international dimensions of democratization processes in Latin America. Firstly, a series of theoretical arguments to extend the methodologies of study on the subject will be presented, emphasizing the interaction of actors from different nationalities. Secondly, I move forward with the results of an investigation into the importance of networks built around the Socialist International and how that impacted on the politics of that age. Finally I will present a research agenda on the possibilities of a recent history of transitions.
