Rights groups warn SIDE arrest powers risk 'persecution and intimidation' - Buenos Aires Herald More than 20 NGOs said that the decree granting broad discretion to intelligence services could become ‘a tool for massive surveillance’

Largely unnoticed outside of Argentina, President Milei is planning a massive expansion of the intelligence service's powers – SIDE.

Among other things, agents would be allowed to arrest citizens.

I spoke with the Buenos Aires Herald about possible consequences and parallels to the country's past.

La principal amenaza a la #democracia en #AmLat no es el #populismo, sino la persistencia de estructuras oligárquicas que concentran poder económico y político.

💰 En #AmLat, la concentración extrema de riqueza permitió repúblicas formales y poderes oligárquicos reales.

🤔 ¿Puede existir #democracia plena si el #poder económico captura al Estado?

We present historical narratives that focus on the length of the authoritarian regime and how the double transition to neoliberal economy and liberal democracy was pursued in each country, having the different sequence and timing of these processes diametrically opposite effects.

Using an original survey of demonstrators, we show that in the 2020s protesting in Argentina is primarily a collective and organic dynamic, while in Chile, it is commonly fragmented and privatized.

We propose a novel conceptualization of predominant national “modes of protesting” to explain how the act of protest expresses historically specific forms of organizational intermediation.

La Cumbre de los Pueblos de 2005 fue un proceso de organización social enorme. Se llevó a cabo por un trabajo multisectorial que hoy cuesta reproducir. El éxito del bloqueo al ALCA lo estudié junto a Karina Bidaseca. Aquí, un capítulo tinyurl.com/3hht69s3 Tal vez sirva para ver cómo reimaginarlo hoy

Revolution and Republic: Oligarchic Regimes and Struggles for Citizenship - 56:4 - LASA Forum The LASA 2026 Call for Papers invoked the republican tradition and its revolutionary implications as a way to foreground the underappreciated contributions of Latin America and the Caribbean to global transformations that have occurred over several centuries. These transformations, which continue to shape the contemporary world, entail what Guillermo O’Donnell (1998, 113) called an “uneasy synthesis” of republican, liberal, and democratic thought and action. Although each taps into pre-modern undercurrents, springing from ancient Greek, republican Roman, and medieval sources, they nonetheless crystallized in the institutions and practices that emerged out of the Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the insurrection of Tupac Amaru II, and Hispanic-American struggles for independence.

This is the introduction Max Cameron and I wrote to this new issue of LASA Forum. We propose a research agenda that aims at going beyond the democratic backsliding debate, looking at long-term dynamics that shaped Latin American republics of today: forum.lasaweb.org/articles/56-...

Movimientos populares frente a la oligarquización plutocrática - 56:4 - LASA Forum Los modos de gobernar que se entrecruzan en la historia continental crean híbridos con tintes oligárquicos y democráticos. Como tales, representan pujas entre sectores, pudiendo transicionar a formas más estables con coaliciones duraderas que sostienen una articulación de lo social, lo político y lo económico (véanse los excelentes análisis de Cameron 2020 y Foweraker 2021).

Carlos H. Acuña (1953- 2025) - 56:4 - LASA Forum He liked to be referred to as Carlos “H.” Acuña (for his middle name, Hugo), convinced that otherwise people might confuse him with the many other Carlos Acuñas around.
