Abstract

This paper analyzes how recent processes of de-democratization resonate, materialize, and sustain themselves in the urban context of Latin America, focusing on the phenomenon of Charter Cities. I argue that the city and city building play a central role in political struggles, and understanding disputed over the territory is central to grasping particularities of the crises of democracy in the South.
