Content: marea rosa, Portuguese: onda rosa, French: marée rose ), or turn to the left ( Spanish: giro a la izquierda, Portuguese: guinada à esquerda, French: tournant à gauche ), was a political wave and perception of a turn towards left-wing governments in Latin American democracies straying away from the neoliberal economic model at the start of the 21st century. As a term, both phrases are used in contemporary 21st-century political analysis in the media and elsewhere to refer to a move toward more progressive economic or social policies in Latin America. The Latin American countries viewed as part of this ideological trend have been referred to as pink tide nations, with the term post-neoliberalism being used to describe the movement as well. Some pink tide governments such as those of Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela have been varyingly characterized as being anti-American, anti-imperialist, and populist. The pink tide was followed by the conservative wave, a political phenomenon that emerged in the mid-2010s in South America as a direct reaction to the pink tide.
