Summary/Abstract: Democracy and Socialism converge and interlink in contemporary Latin American experience — in their development as social movements, in their political allies, and in the obstacles and enemies that they confront. In this analysis I want to deal with the socio-political background of the emergence of a socialist-democratic project. Particular attention is given to the political crisis, the rise and primacy of the Nation-State's power and intervention, and to the appearance in some primary countries of a sui generis Neo-Fascism. In a subsequent analysis, I will explore the role and responsibilities of the Latin American Left, and the origins, content, and possibilities of a socialist-democratic project.
