Abstract

Just a few years ago, the social democratic movement in Latin America seemed to have taken on a new life. The election of John F. Kennedy and the "new look" of his policy towards Latin America raised great hopes among the Social Democrats of the Latin American countries. Today, they have declined. The economic gap between Latin America and the industrially advanced nations is widening; very few reforms have been carried out under the Alliance for Progress; military dictatorships have replaced civilian regimes. These events indicate the illusion of the Social Democratic vision of profound change, but also the failure of the Social Democrats and their attempt to make that vision a reality. In this paper, a general sketch is made of the international social democratic movement in Latin America and the performance of social democratic movements in some of the countries of the continent.
