Abstract

Political rhetoric in Latin America has reflected the trends that different countries in the region have experienced during their democratic history. There are several factors that may influence the contents and attitudes towards democracy of presidential speeches. The most influential factor is likely to be the economic situation of the country. In an effort to integrate the economic and political knowledge that I acquired as an International Relations major I developed my research project in an interaction of these two disciplines.
