This platform for dialogue proposes to explore the relationship between the crisis of democracy in Latin America and the policies of readjustment and privatisation of the last three decades from trans-regional perspectives. The central objective is to develop a space for dialogue, reflection and analysis from different approaches, methodologies and disciplines on the convergence between democracy and authoritarian elements in terms of their transregional connections and their scalar scope. Spaces of interdependence that deliberately seek or address multidisciplinary dialogue between political science, geography, (urban) sociology and empirically based global history are explored. It also analyses the strategies of social movements, initiatives and non-state actors to confront the multiple forms of the new authoritarianism, strategies that often go beyond the national state.
