An analysis of monitored democracy from constitutional texts. A present or absent paradigm in hispanicamerican constitutionalism?

Abstract

Monitored democracy is a democratic paradigm rarely addressed in academic discussion forums in Latin America, a phenomenon that does not imply that its institutions are alien to the governmental and social practice of these peoples. The importance of the aforementioned model is that it constitutes a vigorous proposal to increase the mechanisms of scrutiny of the exercise of power in order to veto the formation of despotism. In view of such telos, the purpose of this paper is to make an approach that allows us
to endorse that monitored democracy is not a foreign model to the constitutional systems of this region.
