Abstract

The last years have observed a series of mounting challenges that have deepened tensions in the region, as illustrated by the increase in the number of protests in the region. The increase in tensions relate to the intersection of worsening of living conditions for millions of citizens- a consequence of the pandemic, the ripple effects of Russian aggression towards Ukraine, and the concerns about a coming global recession. These tensions will bring challenges to political systems across the region, manifested in the occurrence of different types of protests, and the risk of declining support for democracy in Latin America, should governments fail to respond to the demands of their citizens.
