ABSTRACT
The 2008 crisis marks the end of globalisation as a historical cycle and hegemonic order, questioning the productive model, the international division of labour and the international liberal order. With the end of the commodity cycle, a right-wing response reaction takes place in Latin America, opposed to that of its progressive predecessors. In this scenario, a globalist right-wing and a neo-patriot right-wing are identified. The former envisioned the region as a second-order, and platform scenario for plurilateral mega-agreements as ways to “integrate into the world”, but changes in the global scenario demanded revisions in their strategies. The nationalist and sovereign-profile neo-patriot right-wing has strong anti-globalist rhetoric. Based on analysing the interaction between structure and agency factors, this chapter will explore the global connections and matrices resulting from foreign policy and international insertion of Latin American right-wings, generating a matrix of classification of cases. The chapter will finally look at the extent to which the rise of the new Latin American right forces, beyond their national and regional specificities, is part of a global trend or cycle of response of the liberal international order and globalisation.
