This Workshop gathers a group of scholars from Latin America who are collectively researching the interconnections between democracy and the legislative process. Latin America is not monolithic; there is no single, optimal model for legislation. However, when it comes to designing legislation and making laws, democracies on paper usually aspire to legislation compliant with the Rule of Law, democracy, and human rights. This is the common ground against which participating scholars will investigate law-making processes in their countries, what challenges and innovations the national legislative process faces and can produce in the 2020s, and what tensions emerge given divergent social and political conditions and constitutional and international law commitments.

The panel includes participants of a research group currently authoring chapters on their respective countries for an edited volume. Other researchers are welcome to submit papers on this topic as well..
