Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Latin America is a region of vast potential and abundant resources. Yet, its development is hindered by political instability. This instability has been a major impediment to the region’s development. It has created a legacy of stagnation and poverty.

In a charged election, President Lula da Silva took office as Brazil’s new leader on January 1. The supporters of the outgoing leader, Jair Bolsonaro, invaded government facilities in the nation’s capital. They looted offices, and threatened disruption in a bid to oust him from office. Though, they were unsuccessful, coup attempts like these are common in Latin America.

A national emergency is at place in El Salvador. In Chile, President is trying to change the constitution. In Mexico, AMLO is trying to push for an election reform. Bolivia is in political turmoil after opposition leader Luis Fernando was arrested in late December.

Basically, Latin America countries are going through political instability. And, it’s not a recent phenomenon. It’s been going on for a century.

Yes! A century!

A century of Political instability in Latin America

Political instability in Latin America is a complex issue. It is rooted in a history of colonialism, neo-colonialism, authoritarian rule, economic inequality and foreign interference. Hence, Latin America has endured a destructive trifecta of high inequality, subpar economic growth, and frail political institutions. This has exacerbated civil unrest and ongoing political fragility.

It is characterized by a lack of trust in the governing institutions, weak rule of law, widespread corruption, and fragmented political parties. This has resulted in a lack of effective governance and a lack of growth. The high inequality then, leads to continuous political unrest, which in turn, leads to high inequality. It’s a vicious cycle that Latin America fails to break out of.

Since the dawn of the twentieth century, the US has been a major player in the region. It often intervenes in the internal affairs of Latin American nations. This has included aiding in the overthrow of governments, imposing economic sanctions, and providing military support for certain factions. The US has used a variety of tools to achieve its goals, including economic aid, trade agreements, and military force.

You name the country and US has backed a coup in it. Things have only worsened in last two decades.
