Dueling visions for the future will be at stake when Argentines go to the polls on November 19 for the runoff between Economy Minister Sergio Massa and "ultra-libertarian" Javier Milei.
Professor Doran can provide insight into why many are breathing a sigh of relief that Milei did not win the first round outright and how Peronism continues to thrive in Argentina.

"The election a Trump/Bolsonaro populist type comes as Trump looks to return to the White House. If Trump is elected U.S. President, he will seek to isolate the U.S. from being a global policeman and will shape a new Axis of Evil combining Russia, Iran and its allies, North Korea and possibly China, where genocides and mass atrocities may well become far more common moving the world into one of its darkest eras even possibly worse than during the global wars."
