description In the present article we intend to make a comparative study between the mobilizations that took place in the post-Soviet space known as the "Color Revolutions" in contrast to the Mexican movement of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. We analyze movements that might seem similar because they fight against authoritarianism or alternate versions of democracy after electoral days accused of fraudulent results but viewed from the geopolitical aspect they affect the interests of the West –and particularly of the United States- in a different way, so they may triumph or are discredited, affecting the neoliberal project.

En el presente artículo se pretende hacer un estudio comparativo entre las movilizaciones que se dieron en el espacio post-soviético conocidas como las “Revoluciones de los Colores” contrastadas con el movimiento mexicano de Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Se analizan movimientos que pueden parecer similares porque luchan contra el autoritarismo o versiones alternas de la democracia tras jornadas electorales acusadas por resultados fraudulentos, pero vistos desde el aspecto geopolítico afectan los intereses de occidente – y particularmente de Estados Unidos - de forma diferente: ellos triunfan o son desacreditados, afectando el proyecto neoliberal. No presente artigo pretende-se fazer um estudo comparativo entre as mobilizações ocorridas no espaço pós-soviético conhecido como as "Revoluções das Cores" em contraste com o movimento mexicano de Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Analisamos movimentos que podem parecer semelhantes, porque eles lutam contra o autoritarismo ou versões alternativas da democracia depois de dias eleitorais acusados de resultados fraudulentos, mas vistos do aspecto geopolítico afetam os interesses do Ocidente - e particularmente dos Estados Unidos - de uma maneira diferente: triunfam ou são desacreditados, afetando o projeto neoliberal. 2018-01-01 2022-03-18T19:23:55Z 2022-03-18T19:23:55Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artigo avaliado pelos Pares https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/semaspas/article/view/11851 10.29373/semaspas.unesp.v7.n1.jan/jun.2018.11851 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/65108 spa https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/semaspas/article/view/11851/7766 Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Sem Aspas application/pdf Laboratório Editorial Faculdade de Ciências e Letras Revista Sem Aspas ; v. 7, n. 1, jan./jun.
