Objectives and thematic scope: ANUARIO LATINOAMERICANO will publish original high-quality works with an adequate theoretical and analytical framework, monographs, and comparative studies, presenting novel and controversial topics, as well as book reviews and reports. A section of each volume (dossier) will be dedicated to a specific topic. Anuario Latinoamericano is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, created in 2014, published semiannually by the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in print and digitally. The editors of the journal have set various objectives to be fulfilled by the publication: to ensure continuous contact of readers, researchers and students with current issues in the field of Latin American political studies; to integrate and deepen scientific cooperation; to promote intellectual exchange among scientists from national and foreign research centers. The journal does not charge the authors any cost for processing or submitting the articles. We hope that Anuario Latinoamericano - Ciencias Políticas y Relaciones Internacionales will serve as a base for scientific debates while simultaneously deepening the internationalization of our academic network of European as well as Latin American analysts from various countries.

CALL FOR PAPERS |
|
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the volume 19/2026 of Anuario Latinoamericano – Ciencias Políticas y Relaciones Internacionales. The Dossier, entitled ”Latin America: Successes, Failures, and Crises of Democracy”, coordinated by Gabriela Ippolito-O´Donnell (National University of San Martín, Argentina), Katarzyna Krzywicka (Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland) and Esperanza Palma (Autonomous Metropolitan University, Mexico), commemorates the 40th anniversary of the publication of Transitions from Authoritarian Rule (O’Donnell, Schmitter and Whitehead, 1986) while critically examining democracy’s precarious balance between successes and failures in the Latin American and Caribbean states. Remarkably, Transitions anticipated several of today's global democratic dilemmas. The authors’ attention to uncertainty, the decisions of political actors, the role of oppositions movements in democratic transitions and the containment of autocratization, elite pacts, transitional justice, and the fragility of democratic advances foreshadowed challenges now seen worldwide. Crucially, the framework focused on strategic actors and their choices rather than structural determinism, which was a radical move at the time. We invite critical contributions that engage with the legacy of Transitions framework while pushing beyond it. Adopting a broad multidisciplinary perspective, topics may include: authoritarian enclaves; elite pacts versus popular participation; the role of opposition movements in democratic transitions and the containment of autocratization; institutional performance, open justice, transparency and accountability; missing dimensions of gender, race, and indigenous politics; and the relationship between uneven development resulting from deliberate decisions and democratic quality. We want to ponder what lessons Latin America's democratic experiment can offer the world. As democracies falter from Central and Eastern Europe to Southeast Asia and Africa, what can other regions learn from Latin America’s successes, failures, and enduring crises? The closing date for submissions is August 30, 2026. The publication of the volume is scheduled for December 2026. Articles (the length of the article should not exceed 40 000 characters, including bibliographical references) and book reviews (10,000 characters) must be submitted in Spanish or English. Information on editorial requirements can be found on the journal’s website: https://journals.umcs.pl/al/about/submissions#authorGuidelines We appreciate the dissemination of our call. |
