This paper encourages scholars to draw comparisons between Latin America and India as the author suggests the two regions are converging towards similar democratic and economic systems. It draws on examples of populist leaders from both regions to show that comparisons can be established in terms of their social bases and identity politics, and how they handle neoliberal reforms and poverty alleviation programs.
