Latin America faces a complex economic, social and political context with strong implications for the radicalization of society, the erosion of institutions, and the reduction of economic prospects, undermining its commitment to democracy and the rule of law. Although this phenomenon is not exclusive to Latin America, it seems that this region is experiencing the beginning of a chain of events that could negatively impact the countries that integrate it. Therefore, it is vital that all these problems are widely discussed and analyzed, in society and academia, to raise awareness, but mainly to generate ideas that contribute to decision-making at different levels of the States of the region.
