In Latin America, electoral victories of the Right have shifted the balance of forces in the continent away from the Left. By VIJAY PRASHAD

In Argentina, the Right returns to the presidency for the first time since 2003. After a contentious election campaign, the Right will dominate Venezuela’s National Assembly after 16 years in the cold. Brazil’s political world is in disarray, with corruption charges against leaders of the ruling Workers’ Party allowing the Right to appear as the country’s saviour. Elsewhere in South America, similar patterns are evident. Is the “Pink Tide” that began with the 1999 election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela finally receding? http://www.frontline.in/world-affairs/receding-pink-tide/article8017831.ece?homepage=true
