The Democratic Platform is an initiative devoted to strengthening Latin American democratic institutions and culture by fostering pluralistic debate on the social and political transformations of the region and the world. The Democratic Platform provides a virtual infra-structure which permits access to a data bank on research institutions and their intellectual production. Through associated institutions we organize research networks and forums to increase communication between knowledge producers and social and political actors. We are engaged in the creation in each country of groups of young people who are interested in debating the issues on how to consolidate and deepening democracy in Latin America.
