Episode 53: Democracy in Real Time: An Update on Chile's New Constitution w/ Jennifer Piscopo & Peter Siavelis

At a time when global democracy is backsliding into authoritarianism, Chile is currently engaged in the process to draft a new constitution, one that is more representative of indigenous people and other marginalized communities. Very rarely do we get to see "democracy operate in real time." Returning to the podcast to provide an update on the drafting of Chile's new Constitution are noted Latin American experts Jennifer Piscopo, Professor at Occidental College, and Peter Siavelis, Professor at Wake Forest University, who provide first-hand insights of the process to draft Chile's constitution.
