"Conservatives against the Tide: The Rise of the Argentine PRO in Comparative Perspective" by Gabriel Vommaro is a book that explores the organizational structures and political dynamics of conservative parties in Latin America. The book focuses on the Argentine case but also includes comparative analyses of conservative parties in Colombia and Bolivia. Vommaro argues that programmatic innovation, singular organizational mechanisms, and the use of moral panic against the Venezuelan Chavista model are key factors in the success or failure of conservative parties. While the book provides valuable insights, it may oversimplify the complexities of party dynamics and could benefit from acknowledging the limitations of its analytical framework. Overall, the book is a valuable contribution to the study of political parties in Latin America and provides a nuanced exploration of conservative party development. [Extracted from the article] |
