After almost twenty years of democratic decline, in 2023, liberal democracy in Latin America appeared to be regaining strength. But has it managed to sustain the trend? Tim Pires Alves assesses whether recent developments heralded a new global wave of democratisation, or whether we merely glimpsed the calm before an even harsher autocratic storm
PhD Candidate, Department of Political Science, Justus Liebig University Giessen
In his PhD research, Tim examines the political performance of patterns of democratisation from a political engineering perspective and with a regional focus on democratic transformations in Latin America and Southern Europe.
Tim's research interests also include dysfunctional democracies, political violence, and quantitative methods.
