Overview

This analysis identifies factors undermining democracy, like populism and military autonomy, highlighting COVID-19's role.

Key Points

  • The study concludes that democratic decline in Latin America is driven by multiple factors, not just the pandemic.
  • Key findings reveal that preexisting power concentration and corruption intensify distrust in democratic institutions.
  • The PRISMA-2020 methodology facilitated a comprehensive literature review on institutional erosion across Latin America.
  • Strengthening the independence of powers and ensuring institutional transparency may counteract democratic regression.
