Chilean winter of discontent: are protests here to stay?

Here is the link to a very interesting piece in Open Democracy, by Sofia Donoso and Kirsten Sehnbruch. They discuss the way in which the 'governance formula' chosen by Concertacion governments  has affected the way in which citizen's participation is understood and incorporated in democracy in Chile. We will have the pleasure to count with Sofia's participation at our conference.
