In line with LASA\u2019s theme,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lasaweb.org\/es\/lasa2026\/\">&#8220;Republic and Revolution&#8221;<\/a>, the session situated Latin America\u2019s constitutional trajectories within the broader Atlantic world. Participants examined how the emancipatory ideals of republicanism\u2014liberty, equality, and solidarity\u2014have been institutionalized through republican arrangements, while also coexisting with persistent challenges such as inequality, weak statehood, and corruption, as well as new authoritarian threats. Inspired by von Bogdandy\u2019s account of a <a href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4695467\">\u201crenaissance of republicanism\u201d <\/a>in Europe\u2014centered on dignity, solidarity, and the common good\u2014this project highlighted how Latin American societies have developed their own republican legal imagination through transformative constitutionalism. These perspectives underscored republicanism as a forward-looking normative framework rather than a nostalgic return to the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation evolved around the central point of how Latin America plays a role in the project and how this implies an interregional vision. Another key question was what tensions arise between the use of the framework of transformative constitutionalism and rapid social changes, such as revolutions, which often cross constitutional limits or occur at their outer margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By means of dialogue, the event aimed to foster cross-regional dialogue between Latin America and Europe on how law could strengthen democratic resilience to confront autocratic forces that undermine democracy as a societal form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
