This workshop invites reflection upon the role of the Constitution in the configuration of the contemporary democratic order, encompassing its normative, symbolic, and political dimensions. Drawing upon the Latin American experience, three core strands of enquiry will be explored: (i) the Constitution as a social compact that organises power and protects rights; (ii) the innovations and tensions of constitutionalism in Latin America, situated between transformative advancements and crises of legitimacy; and (iii) the current challenges facing democratic constitutionalism vis-à-vis inequality, polarisation, populism, and the impact of new technologies.
