On January 28th, we welcomed Juan Santiago Ylarri (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina), Alejandro Mantilla (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia), and Marta Kleiman (University of Victoria, Canada) to discuss government responses to emergency circumstances and the challenges they pose to democracy. Participants discussed economic emergencies, crime, and terrorism, and they elaborated on the role of institutions in response to these emergencies.

This is the second webinar in the international series “Democracy in Latin America” which is hosted by the Latin American Research Group and co-sponsored by the Centre for Global Studies and the Latin American Studies Program. The aim of the series is to raise awareness about democracy in Latin America by maintaining online intellectual exchanges between academia and civil society from different parts of the Americas.
