The dangerous syndrome of a collapsing star
Discussion of how the futures of Bolivia and Argentina are related to the Collapsing Star Syndrome of Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar. In Latin America the Myanmar syndrome sems to be about to take hold. In Argentina Alberto Fernandez has been elected president but chances that he will govern seem slim. In Bolivia Ms Añez the interim President, could suddenly fall prey to those that would rather find accommodation with the ancient regime than enact and unfold democratic reforms in the country that is South America’s heart. Both Ms Añez and Mr Fernandez could thus become the regional victims of the collapsing star syndrome.
