Nowa gorączka latynoamerykańska: symptomy, źródła, konsekwencje
New Latin American Fever: Roots, Symptoms, Consequences

Summary/Abstract: The text analyses current political and economic developments in Latin America (including Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and Cuba) which in the author’s opinion demonstrate that the region has entered a new phase of political transition. The author suggests that the golden times of the Latin American left are coming to an end, first and foremost due to the completion of the commodities’ supercycle and rising public disillusion with the performance of left-wing leaders, but concludes that this need not translate into an inevitable “turn to the right” nor signal a beginning of the long-awaited inter-American rapprochement. This is because mounting political tensions and economic difficulties could once again make Latin America “a forgotten continent”.
