Gender, Power and Inequality
This thematic area focuses on how different types of inequalities are negotiated and contested in the newly democratized countries of Latin America. More precisely, we are interested in the persistence of social, economic, and political inequalities in Latin America; in how such inequalities affect the stabilization of democratic institutions and the creation of innovative forms of democratic governance; and what are the responses of organized civil society to this setting of resilient inequalities and political/institution flux. We are committed to rigorous and diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of inequalities, democratization and civil society in Latin America.
