          Abstract

          Después de veinte años de políticas neoliberales en América Latina empiezan a presentarse protestas, afirmando que el modelo había causado altos índices de pobreza y miseria social, y promoviendo alternativas políticas. Esos movimientos resultaron en la elección de gobiernos representantes de la llamada nueva izquierda latinoamericana en varios países de la región. Este artículo busca analizar si esos gobiernos han sido capaces de cuestionar la lógica neoliberal y la hegemonía obtenida por esta ideología. Para permitir una comprehensión más profunda de esos temas, el artículo presenta algunas de las reformas económicas más importante implementadas por los gobiernos de Lula en Brasil y de Chávez en Venezuela. Los resultados se compararán para establecer si los gobiernos han podido promover cambios profundos y un alto en las políticas neoliberales, o si solamente han podido llevar a cabo ajustes menores. Basado en esos resultados, el artículo saca unas conclusiones respecto de la dirección política de los nuevos gobiernos alternativos actualmente en el poder en varios países latinoamericanos.

          Translated abstract

          After twenty years of neoliberal policies in Latin America, protests against this economic model strarted to present themselves, claiming that the model had led to high levels of poverty and social misery, and promoting political alternatives. These movements resulted in the election of governments representing the so-called New Latin American Left in many of the region's countries. This article seeks to analyze if these governments have been able to question the logic of neoliberalism and the hegemony obtained by this ideolog. To permit a clearer understanding of these issues, the article presents some of the most important economic reforms implemented by the Lula government in Brazil and the Chávez government in Venezuela. The results are then compared in order to establish wether the governments have been able to promote profound changes and a halt to neoliberal policies, or if they have only been able to perform minor ajustments. Based on these findings, the article draws some conslusions regarding the political direction of the new alternative governments currently in power in various Latin American countries.
