Summary:Why is the emergence of populism possible in some countries but not in others? The answer revolves around an exercise in comparative politics, in which Ecuador, Venezuela and Uruguay are considered as case studies, over a period ranging from the third wave of democratization (1980) to the first decade of the 21st century.
