Mexico is soon to join Bolivia among very few countries around the world to elect judges by popular vote. In this roundtable, Canning House convenes a discussion on the implications this brings for democracy, the judiciary and the separation of powers in Latin America, with Dr. Carlos Elizondo and Dr. Laurence Whitehead.
Dr. Elizondo will examine the Mexican case, considering the recent constitutional reform process. Dr. Whitehead will explore the Bolivian case, ahead of judicial elections set to take place in December following more than a year of delay. They will then discuss the implications for democracy and the separation of powers in countries across the region.
