The right-wing political party's shift in Latin American ABC countries (Argentina, Brazil and Chile)

The pink tide or leftist governments haven dominated the political arena of Latin America over a decade, with their characteristic public policies. But in recent years, this situation has changed a little bit. Since Argentina elected their first center-right president came from neither Peronist party nor radical party, but from a small third party PRO. And just now Brazilians embraced their conservative but far-right Bolsonaro, ended Lula-Dilma left trending in Brazil. By 2010, with the victory of Sebastián Piñera of National Renewal, the right had democratically assumed the reins of government for the first time in fifty-two years under the banner of the "new right". With more countries show their interest in right-turning, we will try to analyze their different origins, leadership, organizational structure, issue orientation, and ideological and electoral bases. Also, we will put more emphasis on the social groups that related with these right party and how they evolve to support the party system. We will give a conceptualization of “right” in the political definition and explore the genesis of the contemporary right some Latin American countries through three key variables: 1) the existence of an underlying social pact on the limits of reform; 2) the ability of the right to protect its key interests; 3) the extent to which the right is forced into a defensive and reactive, rather than proactive, position. By analyzing the three different righ-wing leading parties: PRO in Argentina, Social Liberal Party in Brazil, and National Renewal in Chile. We will get a chronological facts about the political shifts in these Latin American decisive countries.
