No. 6 (2016): Electoral Law and Democracy in the 21st Century

Issue 6 of Cálamo is dedicated to aspects of electoral law and democracy in the 21st century, and addresses issues of great relevance to the political life of Ecuador in these times. This new installment of Cálamo allows us to fuel a debate about the importance of electoral systems and fair political representation; how States should resolve tensions between freedom and security; centrality and legal pluralism; the problems of democracy and political pluralism; and, the authoritarian tendency of presidentialism in some Latin American countries.
