This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.204.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:17, 2 January 2025. Your current IP address is 34.204.199.43.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''pink tide''' ({{langx|es|marea rosa}}; {{langx|pt|onda rosa}}; {{langx|fr|marée rose}}), or the '''turn to the left''' ({{langx|es|giro a la izquierda|link=no}}; {{langx|pt|virada à esquerda|link=no}}; {{langx|fr|tournant à gauche|link=no}}), is a political wave and turn towards [[Left-wing politics|left-wing]] governments in [[Latin America]] throughout the 21st century.

== History ==
=== Rise of the left: 1990s and 2000s ===
{{see also|Latin American debt crisis|La Década Perdida}}
Following the [[third wave of democratization]] in the 1980s, the institutionalisation of electoral competition in Latin America opened up the possibility for the left to ascend to power. For much of the region's history, formal electoral contestation excluded leftist movements, first through limited suffrage and later through military intervention and repression during the second half of the 20th century.<ref>Levitsky, Steven; Roberts, Kenneth. [https://edisciplinas.usp.br/pluginfile.php/394272/mod_resource/content/1/The%20Resurgence%20of%20the%20Latin%20Ame%20-%20Steven%20Levitsky%20Intro.pdf "The Resurgence of the Latin American Left"] (PDF). Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press.</ref> The [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] and the end of the [[Cold War]] changed the geopolitical environment, as many revolutionary movements vanished, and the left embraced the core tenets of capitalism. In turn, the United States no longer perceived leftist governments as a security threat, creating a political opening for the left.<ref name="auto">Levitsky, Ibid.</ref>

In the 1990s, as the Latin American elite no longer feared a communist takeover of their assets, the left exploited this opportunity to solidify their base, run for local offices, and gain experience governing on the local level. At the end of the 1990s and early 2000s, the region's initial unsuccessful attempts with the [[neoliberal]] policies of [[privatisation]], cuts in [[social spending]], and foreign investment left countries with high levels of [[unemployment]], [[inflation]], and rising [[social inequality]].<ref>Rodriguez, Robert G. (2014). "Re-Assessing the Rise of the Latin American Left" (PDF). The Midsouth Political Science Review. Arkansas Political Science Association. 15 (1): 59. {{ISSN|2330-6882}}.</ref>

This period saw increasing numbers of people working in the [[informal economy]] and suffering material insecurity, and ties between the working classes and the traditional political parties weakening, resulting in a growth of mass protest against the negative social effects of these policies, such as the ''[[piquetero]]s'' in Argentina, and in Bolivia indigenous and peasant movements rooted among small [[coca]] farmers, or ''[[cocalero]]s'', whose activism culminated in the [[Bolivian gas conflict]] of the early-to-mid 2000s.<ref name=rojas /> The left's social platforms, which were centered on economic change and [[redistributive policies]], offered an attractive alternative that mobilized large sectors of the population across the region, who voted leftist leaders into office.<ref name="auto"/>

=== End of commodity boom and decline: 2010s ===
{{main|Conservative wave}}
[[File:Dilma Rousseff lendo sua mensagem de 2016 ao Congresso Nacional (2) (cropped 2).jpg|thumb|upright|The [[impeachment of Dilma Rousseff]] gave rise to the [[conservative wave]] in the 2010s.]]
The US government said Chávez had "dreams of continental domination", was a threat to his own people. According to Michael Reid writing in the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] magazine, ''[[Foreign Affairs]]'', Chávez' regional influence peaked in 2007 and interest in him waned after Venezuela's dependence on oil revenue led it into an [[Crisis in Venezuela|economic crisis]] and he grew increasingly authoritarian.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal|last=Reid|first=Michael|date=2015|title=Obama and Latin America: A Promising Day in the Neighborhood|journal=[[Foreign Affairs]]|volume=94|issue=5|pages=45–53|quote=Washington's trade strategy was to contain Chávez and his dreams of continental domination ... the accurate assessment that Chávez was a threat to his own people. ... Chávez's regional influence peaked around 2007. His regime lost appeal because of its mounting left-wing authoritarianism and economic difficulties.}}</ref>

The [[death of Chávez]] in 2013 left the most radical wing without a clear leader as [[Nicolás Maduro]] did not have the international influence and prestige of his predecessor. Chinese trade and loans, which were more favourable than those provided by the [[International Monetary Fund]], resulted in economic growth, a steep fall in poverty, a decline in extreme income inequality, and a swelling of the middle class in South America. By the mid-2010s, Chinese investment in Latin America began to decline.<ref name=":0" /> 

By 2015, the shift away from the left became more pronounced in Latin America, with ''[[The Economist]]'' saying the pink tide had ebbed,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21679192-mauricio-macris-remarkable-victory-will-reverberate-across-south-america-ebbing-pink|title=The ebbing of the pink tide|newspaper=The Economist}}</ref> and [[Vice News]] stating that 2015 was "The Year the 'Pink Tide' Turned".<ref name="VICEtideTURN2">{{cite news|url=https://news.vice.com/article/the-year-the-pink-tide-turned-latin-america-in-2015|title=The Year the 'Pink Tide' Turned: Latin America in 2015|last1=Noel|first1=Andrea|date=29 December 2015|work=[[Vice News]]|access-date=30 December 2015}}</ref> In the [[2015 Argentine general election]], [[Cristina Fernández de Kirchner]]'s favoured candidate for the presidency [[Daniel Scioli]] was defeated by his centre-right opponent [[Mauricio Macri]], against a background of rising inflation, reductions in GDP, and declining prices for [[soybean]]s, which was a key export for the country, leading to falls in public revenues and social spending.<ref name=rojas/>

Shortly afterwards, the [[Operation Car Wash|corruption scandal surrounding Petrobras]] engulfed Brazilian politics and led to the impeachment of Brazilian president [[Dilma Rousseff]], culminating in her removal from office. In Ecuador, retiring president [[Rafael Correa]]'s successor was his vice-president, [[Lenín Moreno]], who took a narrow victory in the [[2017 Ecuadorian general election]], a win that received a negative reaction from the business community at home and abroad. However, after his election, Moreno shifted his positions rightwards and sidelined Correa's allies, resulting in Correa branding his former deputy "a traitor" and "a wolf in sheep's clothing".<ref name=rojas>{{cite journal |last1=Rojas |first1=René |date=Summer 2018 |title=The Latin American Left's Shifting Tides |url=https://catalyst-journal.com/vol2/no2/the-latin-american-lefts-shifting-tides |journal=[[Catalyst (journal)|Catalyst]] |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=6–71|access-date=13 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ft.com/content/aa2c331a-e265-11e7-97e2-916d4fbac0da |title=Lenín Moreno unpicks Ecuador's leftwing legacy |last=Long |first=Gideon |date=29 December 2017 |website=[[ft.com]]|access-date=13 September 2020}}</ref>

=== Resurgence: late 2010s and early 2020s ===
Some countries, however, pushed back against the trend and elected more left-leaning leaders, such as [[Mexico]] with the electoral victory of [[Andrés Manuel López Obrador]] in the [[2018 Mexican general election]] and [[Argentina]] where the incumbent [[centre-right]] president [[Mauricio Macri]] lost against [[centre-left]] challenger [[Alberto Fernández]] ([[Justicialist Party|Peronist]]) in the [[2019 Argentine general election]].<ref name="eng">{{cite news |title=Resurgence of the 'Pink Tide'?

== Economic outcome ==
=== Economy and social development ===
<!--Intro-->
The pink tide governments aimed to improve the welfare of the constituencies that brought them to power, which they attempted through measures intended to increase wages, such as raising [[minimum wages]], and softening the effects of neoliberal economic policies through expanding [[welfare]] spending, such as subsidizing basic services and providing [[cash transfer]]s to vulnerable groups like the unemployed, mothers outside of formal employment, and the [[precariat]].<ref name=rojas /> In Venezuela, the first pink tide government of Chávez increased spending on social welfare, housing, and local infrastructures, and established the [[Bolivarian missions]], decentralised programmes that delivered free services in fields, such as healthcare and education, as well as subsidised food distribution.<ref name=rojas/>

Under the [[Obama administration]], which held a less interventionist approach to the region after recognizing that interference would only boost the popularity of populist pink tide leaders like Chávez, Latin American approval of the United States began to improve as well.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Reid |first=Michael |date=2015 |title=Obama and Latin America: A Promising Day in the Neighborhood |journal=[[Foreign Affairs]] |volume=94 |pages=45–53 |quote=Officials in the Obama administration argued that it was counterproductive to publicly criticize Chávez, since doing so failed to change his behavior and merely allowed him to pose as a popular campaigner against American imperialism ...

== Term ==
As a term, the pink tide had become prominent in contemporary discussion of Latin American politics in the early 21st century. Origins of the term may be linked to a statement by [[Larry Rohter]], a ''[[New York Times]]'' reporter in [[Montevideo]] who characterized the [[2004 Uruguayan general election]] of [[Tabaré Vázquez]] as the president of Uruguay as "not so much a red tide ... as a pink one".<ref name="pitts2" /> The term seems to be a [[play on words]] based on [[red tide]]—a biological phenomenon of an [[algal bloom]] rather than a political one—with [[Red (politics)|red]], a color long associated with [[communism]], especially as part of the [[Red Scare]] and [[red-baiting]] in the United States, being replaced with the lighter tone of pink to indicate the more moderate [[socialist]] ideas that gained strength.<ref name="ips2">{{cite web |last=Carlsen |first=Laura |date=15 December 2006 |url=http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/3806 |title=Latin America's Pink Tide? |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090910093646/http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/3806 |archive-date=10 September 2009 |url-status=dead |publisher=Institute for Policy Studies |access-date=24 March 2016}}</ref>

Despite the presence of a number of Latin American governments that professed to embracing [[left-wing politics]], it is difficult to categorize Latin American states "according to dominant political tendencies" like [[red states and blue states]] in the United States.<ref name="ips2"/> While this political shift was difficult to quantify, its effects were widely noticed. According to the [[Institute for Policy Studies]], a left-wing [[think-tank]] based in Washington, D.C., 2006 meetings of the South American Summit of Nations and the Social Forum for the Integration of Peoples demonstrated that certain discussions that used to take place on the margins of the dominant discourse of [[neoliberalism]], which moved to the center of [[public sphere]] and debate.<ref name="ips2"/>

In the 2011 book ''The Paradox of Democracy in Latin America: Ten Country Studies of Division and Resilience'', Isbester states: "Ultimately, the term 'the Pink Tide' is not a useful analytical tool as it encompasses too wide a range of governments and policies. It includes those actively overturning neoliberalism (Chávez and Morales), those reforming neoliberalism (Lula), those attempting a confusing mixture of both (the Kirchners and Correa), those having rhetoric but lacking the ability to accomplish much (Toledo), and those using anti-neoliberal rhetoric to consolidate power through non-democratic mechanisms (Ortega)."<ref name="ISBESTER68">{{cite book|title=The Paradox of Democracy in Latin America: Ten Country Studies of Division and Resilience|last1=Isbester|first1=Katherine|date=2011|publisher=University of Toronto Press|isbn=978-1442601802|location=Toronto|page=68}}</ref>

In 2006, ''[[The Arizona Republic]]'' recognized the growing pink tide, stating: "A couple of decades ago, the region, long considered part of the United States' backyard, was basking in a resurgence of democracy, sending military despots back to their barracks", further recognizing the "disfavor" with the United States and the concerns of "a wave of nationalist, leftist leaders washing across Latin America in a 'pink tide'" among United States officials.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Issue: A Changing Latin America: Fears of 'Pink Tide'|agency=[[The Arizona Republic]]|date=12 June 2006}}</ref> A 2007 report from the [[Inter Press Service]] news agency said how "elections results in Latin America appear to have confirmed a left-wing populist and anti-U.S. trend – the so-called 'pink tide' – which ... poses serious threats to Washington's multibillion-dollar anti-drug effort in the Andes".<ref>[http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=35951 "Challenges 2006–2007: A Bad Year for Empire"]. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114043312/http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=35951|date=14 November 2007}}.

Writing in ''[[Americas Quarterly]]'' after the election of [[Pedro Castillo]] in 2021, Paul J. Angelo and Will Freeman warned of the risk of Latin American left-wing politicians embracing what they dubbed "regressive social values" and "leaning into traditionally conservative positions on gender equality, abortion access, LGBTQ rights, immigration, and the environment". They cited Castillo blaming Peru's femicides on male "idleness" and criticizing what he called "[[gender ideology]]" taught in Peruvian schools, as well as Ecuador, governed by left-wing leaders for almost twenty years, having one of the strictest anti-abortion laws worldwide. On immigration, they mentioned Mexico's southern border militarization to stop Central American migrant caravans and Castillo's proposal to give undocumented migrants 72 hours to leave the country after taking office, while on the environment they cited Ecuadorian progressive presidential candidate [[Andrés Arauz]] insisting on oil drilling in the Amazon, as well as the Bolivian president [[Luis Arce]] allowing agribusinesses unchecked with deforestation.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Angelo|first1=Paul J.|last2=Freeman|first2=Will|date=23 June 2021|title=A Socially Conservative Left Is Gaining Traction in Latin America|url=https://www.americasquarterly.org/article/a-socially-conservative-left-is-gaining-traction-in-latin-america/|access-date=8 September 2021|website=[[Americas Quarterly]]}}</ref>

=== Disputed pink tide leaders ===
The following left-wing and centre-left presidents, prime ministers, and other heads of governments, are sometimes included as part of the pink tide and sometimes excluded, either because the countries they lead are in the broader [[Latin America and the Caribbean]] region but are not technically part of Latin America or the leaders in question do not necessarily fit under the definition of the pink tide.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://diplomatique.org.br/a-onda-rosa/|title = A onda rosa - le Monde Diplomatique| date=April 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=SCHEPERS |first1=EMILE |title=The Bolivarian crisis: Is Latin America's "pink tide" receding? |url=https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/the-bolivarian-crisis-is-latin-america-s-pink-tide-receding/ |website=People's World |access-date=19 April 2021 |date=June 3, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|author=Becker, Marc |title=Twentieth-Century Latin American Revolutions}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Fernandes Pimenta |first1=Gabriel |last2=Casas V M Arantes |first2=Pedro |title=Rethinking Integration in Latin America: The "Pink Tide" and the PostNeoliberal Regionalism |url=http://web.isanet.org/Web/Conferences/FLACSO-ISA%20BuenosAires%202014/Archive/19e10599-bf80-42fa-a9e1-accb107de234.pdf |date=July 23–25, 2014 |journal=FLACSO |volume=FLACSO-ISA Joint International Conference Buenos Aires, Argentina |access-date=19 April 2021}}</ref><ref name="Prestholdt2019">{{cite book|author=Jeremy Prestholdt|title=Icons of Dissent: The Global Resonance of Che, Marley, Tupac and Bin Laden|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mXKfDwAAQBAJ&q=dési+bouterse+pink+tide&pg=PA206|date=1 July 2019|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-009264-1|page=206}}</ref><ref>https://www.ibiconsultants.net/_pdf/cuba-in-the-bolivarian-revolution.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=A decade of reporting by the FT's outgoing Latin America editor|url=https://www.ft.com/content/0ef20fb0-680a-11e9-9adc-98bf1d35a056 |work=Financial Times|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
