Pandemocracy in Latin America

Revisiting the Political and Constitutional Dimension of the Pandemic

Edited by Pablo Riberi

Adopting a global-south perspective, this book explores the constitutional, political, and institutional measures that have paved the way for several aggressive state policies in various Latin American countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The contributions provide a detailed review of the democratic decay and the ‘rule of law’ impairment in many countries of the region. The book goes beyond mere observation and explores all the main theoretical elements that can enhance a more comprehensive understanding of the political and normative impact of the pandemic.
