Political Participation by “the Excluded” in Latin America
Outline
Through this research project, we aim to explore the origins and the changes of political (or democratic) practices in progressive local governments in the age of “left turns” in Latin America. Paying special attention to “the excluded” group that grew under the era of “neoliberalism”, we attempt to grasp by what sort of measures and to what extent local governments have accomplished the ”political inclusion” of “the excluded”, and, at the same time, have influenced national (democratic) politics in each case.
