Democracia y ciclos políticos
Contrasting Modern and Contemporary Populist Regimes
The article analyses populism as a specific logic of governmental exercise that sets into motion the pattern of transformation of contemporary democratic regimes: democratic hybridization. Democratic hybridization entails the piecemeal dismantling of key aspects of liberal constitutionalism that take place in already democratized societies and is carried out by democratically elected administrations. The proposed pattern of regime hybridization d…
Public Sphere and Post-populism in the Covid-19 Pandemic
In this article, we examine whether the COVID-19 pandemic opens opportunities for consensual politics and the reconstruction of a pluralistic public sphere in countries characterised by polarised politics. Our focus is on how the Alberto Fernández administration in Argentina managed the crisis during 2020 and the window of opportunity that the pandemic created for a post-populist, depolarised scenario. Although the government initially tried to p…
Post-liberal and Post-populist Democracy
Populism in Power
The Latin American historical experience with populist regimes as well as the theoretical reflections produced by Latin Americanists are particularly relevant not just for determining the nature of a very contested political concept but also for understanding the logic of populism in government and the threats it poses to liberal democratic regimes. Populism in government or the attempt at stabilizing a populist regime is no novelty for Latin Ame…
Regime betterment or regime change? A critical review of recent debates on liberal democracy and populism in Latin America
In the past three decades, debates in Latin American political theory have shifted from struggles over competing regime-types to a discussion about the meaning and potential of democracy. After the region-wide consolidation of democracy, a new political consensus was reached: democracy became the only acceptable form of legitimate rule. The latter was no small accomplishment for a region like Latin America where political struggles often entailed…
Populism as Democratization’s Nemesis
Broadening the Notion of Democratic Accountability
This article focuses on a set of democratic innovations that were introduced in recent years in Latin America that involve the participation of civil society as an active agent of accountability. Participatory innovations are redefining the traditional scenario in which the practice of democratic representation takes place, adding novel arenas and mechanisms to engage actors that traditionally were not actively involved in accountability politics…
Human Rights, State Compliance, and Social Change
National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) – human rights commissions and ombudsmen – have gained recognition as a possible missing link in the transmission and implementation of international human rights norms at the domestic level. They are also increasingly accepted as important participants in global and regional forums where international norms are produced. By collecting innovative work from experts spanning international law, political sc…
Grounding Global Norms in Domestic Politics
How do global rights regimes promote compliance? Can they form the basis for effective advocacy campaigns at the domestic level? In this paper, we address these questions via a case study of the role played by the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Argentinian politics. We argue that ratification of the convention strengthened the coherence and leverage of rights-based domestic activists and ultimately led to the introduction of a new right…

La democracia representativa como política mediada
La relación entre participación cívica y representación política necesita ser repensada. Es necesario romper con las visiones que ven a dichos conceptos como alternativas para organizar la polis. Por un lado, buena parte de la literatura contemporánea sobre representación otorga un rol mínimo a la participación cívica; por otro, los defensores de la democracia participativa buscan desarrollar formas de acción directa que hacen prescindible a la r…
Claiming Rights Under Global Governance
There is very little research on whether global human rights regimes serve as tools for the promotion of a domestic agenda of rights within democratic states, although their role under authoritarianism has been extensively analyzed. This article offers a case study of the impact of one such regime, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, on domestic advocacy in democratic Argentina. The effectiveness of the convention at the domestic level dep…
Enforcing the rule of law
Reports of scandal and corruption have led to the downfall of numerous political leaders in Latin America in recent years. What conditions have developed that allow for the exposure of wrongdoing and the accountability of leaders? Enforcing the Rule of Law examines how elected officials in Latin American democracies have come under scrutiny from new forms of political control, and how these social accountability mechanisms have been successful in…
Argentina after the Crash
Argentine democracy appears to be weathering its most serious challenge since 1983 with relative success. ... The political and economic crisis ... has not led to the collapse of democratic institutions or prompted calls for authoritarianism

Towards a New Politics
The emergence of a human rights movement represented a cultural turning point in many Latin American societies. The movement's struggle acted as a catalyst for political learning, triggering a profound renovation of the region's democratic traditions. The most impressive development has been the emergence of a rights-oriented discourse that reunites two elements that populist forms of self-understanding had kept separate: democracy and the rule o…
The Nature of the New Argentine Democracy. The Delegative Democracy Argument Revisited
O'Donnell's diagnosis regarding the delegative nature of the new Latin American democracies has won wide acceptance in current debates on institutional consolidation. Through the analysis of the Argentine case this commentary challenges the delegative democracy argument as one-sided. The delegativeness hypothesis, it will be argued, turns a blind eye to the truly innovative processes that have taken place within Argentine society and make this de…
Societal Accountability in Latin America
In Argentina, the unsolved murder of a teenager triggered social protests that eventually led to the trial and indictment of her assailants and the resignation of a provincial governor. In Brazil, press reports of governmental corruption and public demands for due process led to the 1992 impeachment of President Fernando Collor de Mello. In Colombia, the introduction of a constitutional mechanism for the protection of fundamental rights resulted …
Constitucionalismo, populismo y sociedad civil. Lecciones del caso argentino
After critically evaluating the theoretical uses to which the concept of civil society has been given in Latin American studies, the article focuses on the analysis of the institutional aspects of the term and, in particular, on the central role played by the modern constitutional complex in society's evolution into a civil society. The last section provides a brief analysis of the negative impact of the self-constitution of Argentinian civil soc…
Modernization and Juridification in Latin America
What is the distinctive trait of the Latin American pattern of modernization? In contrast to western societies, where the debate on modernization has been dominated by the Weberian thematic of bureaucratiz-ation, the most salient feature of the Latin American developmental path is the chronic frailty of legal-constitutional arrangements. In Latin America, the process of modernization and social differentiation has not been followed by the legal s…
Menemismo y reforma
Polemizando com a análise de Guillermo O'Donnell, centrada na idéia da democracia delegativa, o autor sustenta que o estilo político de Carlos Menem não tem caráter populista mas deve ser visto como um fenômeno político novo, ligado à situação de emergência econômica na Argentina a partir do final do governo Alfonsín.Against Guillermo O'Donnells well-known analysis centered on the idea of a delegative democracy the author holds that the political…
Civil Society and the Modern Constitutional Complex
While constitutionalism is generally reduced to the idea of limited government, little has been said to its contribution to the juridification of the social sphere. The article shows the significance of constitutionalism for the institutionalization of modern civil societies. Modern civil societies, it is argued, can only flourish in a form of modern state that has undergone a process of internal differentiation in the direction of a separation o…
