Professor and Director of the Center for Latin American Studies at the Univ. of Florida (U.S.A.). Specializes in populism, democratization and authoritarianism. Recent books: "The Routledge Reader of Global Populism" (2019); "Populisms: a Quick Immersion" (2019).
Sometimes populisms create dynasties. The Bucaram family for years owned the mayor's office in Guayaquil and the Republican party is now in the hands of the Trump family. The Correa Delgado family is Ecuador's new political lineage. Although Rafael was unable to register his candidacy, the family is well represented by his brothers.
