As part of his PhD trajectory, Esteban Szmulewicz was invited to give a presentation at a seminar titled 'Challenges of representative and participatory constitution-making: insights from the recent Chilean processes' and was attended by colleagues affiliated to the Institute in Warsaw as well as other Polish academics, and participants online as well.
The topics discussed included, among others, citizen participation, gender parity, the crisis of representative institutions, political polarization and radicalization, as well as the problems of deliberation revealed during constitution-making. The approach was comparative since these challenges are common to many countries attempting to introduce constitutional reform, such as Poland and the Netherlands even.
