Keep time in mind. Latin Americanization it is next to impossible to reproduce. Societies and their economies are product of a set of circumstnaces. Put into your equation the historic perspective. The circumstances that gave way to Latin America no longer exist. Thsoe circumstances were: 1) Transition between UK and US hegemony (first 1/2 of last century) 2) Cold War (second half of last century) Both circumstances no longer exist. Nowadays there's no support of caudillos and dictators. Nowadays the level of education and a access to media is much more widespread. Leaders in Latin America are elected via ballot box. A Chavez or a Lula or an Argentinean leader can do pretty much what they want. It is another ball game.
