The first will be in Costa Rica in February, followed by El Salvador in March, Paraguay in April, Colombia in May, Mexico in July, Brazil and Peru in October and, if nothing gets in its way, Venezuela in October as well.<\/p>\n<p>Will the bells sound for Lopez Obrador in Mexico, or for PRI candidate Jose Antonio Meade, the first candidate in history to not be a party litigant? Will they ring for Lula da Silva in Brazil or will they be silent by court order? Who will they sound for in Colombia: Fajardo, Vargas Lleras, De la Calle, Ordonez, Duque, Nieto, Lopez\u2014or another of the more than 50 candidates that come forward? One thing is certain: the results are not an issue particular to each country, but will affect the entire region. In a globalized and economically, politically and ideologically interconnected world, what happens in each successive election will have consequences on the region\u2019s geopolitical balance and, subsequently, its relations with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>For centuries, bells were a means of rapid and effective communication that informed the population of many community events. They were a shared signal, learned by all citizens since childhood. They told time of day, marked the arrival of a renowned visitor, or shared news of a fire, lost child, storm, party or death.<\/p>\n<p>If that language were still used today, it would undoubtedly include election results among its many messages. There would be different rings and sequences for each party, for an absolute majority, for a presidential runoff or any other possible event. However, the <em>De campanorum pulsatione<\/em>, a manuscript kept in the Archives of the Cathedral of Toledo that describes how and when to ring the bells, confirms that there is nothing stipulated regarding elections. But we must note that it was written in 1357, a time when such circumstances were much less common.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, more than 420 million people will go to the polls in Latin America to choose who will lead their countries. Costa Rica (February), El Salvador (March), Paraguay (April), Colombia (May), Mexico (July), Peru and Brazil (October) and Venezuela (possibly in October) are the countries where and times when the region\u2019s future political paths will be chosen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Tabla elecciones (falta)&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/ideasen.llorenteycuenca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/12\/calendario_politico_ENG-2.jpg&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Segunda parte &#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Continuity or upset, left or right, new leaders or known actors, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideasen.llorenteycuenca.com\/2017\/09\/14\/regional-view-populism-on-the-rise-in-latin-america\/#.WiZ5BEriZPY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rise of populism<\/a> or consolidation of the middle class\u2014these are just some of the political questions that will be answered as the year progresses and results become known.<\/p>\n<p>Ernest Hemingway opened his novel <em>For Whom the Bell Tolls <\/em>(1940) with a well-known poem by John Donne on the interdependence of human beings:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8220;<\/em><em>No man is an island entire of itself; every man\u00a0<\/em><em>is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;\u00a0<\/em><em>if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe\u00a0<\/em><em>is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as\u00a0<\/em><em>well as any manner of thy friends or of thine\u00a0<\/em><em>own were; any man&#8217;s death diminishes me,\u00a0<\/em><em>because I am involved in mankind.\u00a0<\/em><em>And therefore never send to know for whom\u00a0<\/em><em><em>the bell tolls; it tolls for thee<\/em>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s watch the news this year, because the bells that toll in 2018 will not sound just for a specific region and people, but for us all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;Secci\u00f3n&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; specialty=&#8221;off&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eaf1e0&#8243; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; inner_shadow=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Fila&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;tercera parte &#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #53565a;\"><strong>Key questions<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #787b7e;\"><strong>1) Why is the confluence of these Latin American elections relevant during 2018?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It is very unusual for electoral processes to transpire in Latin America\u2019s most influential countries during the same year.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #787b7e;\"><strong>2) <strong>What is at stake?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>From a socio-economic perspective, Latin America will determine the future balance of its economic growth and social impact.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #787b7e;\"><strong>3) <strong>Do we have any idea of what the results will be?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As shown in this document, let us be clear: <strong>nothing is decided<\/strong>.
