About Us
 

Plataforma Democrática is an initiative of the IFHC Foundation and the Edelstein Center for Social Research devoted to strengthening Latin American democratic institutions and culture, through the production of knowledge and promotion of a pluralistic debate on the transformation of society and politics in the region and the world.

Plataforma Democrática provides a free access virtual library with thousands of texts on issues related to democracy in Latin America and a data-base on research institutions. Plataforma Democrática develops research in key areas for the consolidation of democracy in the region, producing reports, which are discussed with Latin-American public intellectuals and transformed into widely, circulated texts. Together with the twenty-associated research centers, located in eleven countries, conducts forums to promote dialogue between producers of knowledge and different social and political actors.
