Latin American Dictatorships in the Era of Fascism delves into the fascinating phenomenon of reverse-wave dictatorships that emerged in Latin America during the 1930s. It also explores the transnational dissemination of authoritarian institutions during the era of fascism. António Costa Pinto takes a fresh approach to studying authoritarian alternatives to liberal democracy in 1930s Latin America by examining the spread of corporatism within inter-war dictatorships worldwide. Through a transnational and comparative research design, the book investigates the driving forces behind the horizontal spread of corporatism in Latin America, the processes and directions of transnational diffusion, and how social and political corporatism became a central set of new institutions utilized by dictatorships during this era. By 1942, the corporatist wave had significantly reduced the number of democratic regimes globally, making this book an essential resource for students studying Latin American history, 1930s dictatorships, and authoritarianism. It sheds light on the complex interplay between regional and global dynamics, providing valuable insights into the historical and political landscape of the time.
