We welcome you to our RDV seminar with Professor Roberto Gargarella. He will present the new project he is awarded by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant): “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue». The project aims to make constitutionalism more sensitive to growing democratic demands, by offering concrete institutional alternatives to channel the demands of democracy and engage with activists and members of civil society, from a conception of democracy as a “conversation between equals”. The project stems from the deep crisis affecting constitutional democracies around the world and manifests itself both in a growing lack of confidence in constitutionalism and in an increase in citizens’ dissatisfaction with democracy. The ultimate goal is to design institutional proposals that are both respectful of individual rights and the decisions resulting from democratic dialogue.

Roberto Gargarella, a full professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Buenos Aires, teaches at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Argentina, and is the director of the “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue» project at the Department of Law at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. https://www.biennaldepensament.barcelona/en/participants/roberto-gargarella
