Welcome to Plural.

Plural is a platform for research, analysis, and reform focused on rebuilding representative democracy in Latin America. It facilitates the study of political parties across the region by offering country-by-country mapping, cross-national analysis, and practical resources to support the development of stronger, more programmatic, and institutionalized parties.

This project explores how Latin America can build better parties and, as a result, better democracies. By identifying the causes of party system failure and spotlighting promising models, it aims to support academics, activists, and citizens who are ready to rebuild the foundations of representative democracy.

Plural will soon host a country-by-country database of political parties in Latin America—alongside tools for cross-national analysis and practical resources to support the development of stronger party systems.

Strong parties make democracy work. Democracy, in turn, needs parties worth believing in.
