How to redefine democracy?

In this conversation between Ricardo Ávila, journalist, economist and columnist, and Mauricio Reina, researcher, lover of democracy, also columnist and economist, they answer the question: How to redefine Latin American democracy?

For Mauricio Reina, “Latin America in general has always managed to find its way, but when one looks at individual cases it is clear that it has taken some more work than others.

If one looks at the last two decades of the last century and the course of this century, the star countries of Latin America were: Chile, which maintained good dynamism mainly at the end of the last century and Peru, which has definitely been the star in terms of growth... it turns out that when one looks at the effects on the political system, they are the first two countries that have gone to a different political shore, a different ideological shore."

“The long road has many more complexities but it is the one that guarantees a better and more permanent outcome.” For Ricardo Avila, Latin America has “an enormous creativity, a great versatility explained by the capacity that we have to respond to difficulties, a great passion to do things and do them well, and additionally a sense of community and family that are fundamental to thinking about the impacts that the things we do can have.”
