**About the Series**

This seminar intends to analyze potential policy alternatives to deal more assertively with the challenges of security and justice provision in Latin America. Assertiveness in two senses: first, as effectiveness to the citizens’ legitimate demands of protection against violence, impunity, and uncertainty, and second as feasibility to offer rule of law solutions able to outcompete populist authoritarian alternatives. In other words, what scholars’ research and practitioners’ experience can say about the set of policies and proposals that can effectively deal with violence, impunity, and uncertainty, and at the same time outcompete populist candidates’ mano dura policies.

*Presented in collaboration with the Center for International Development and the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University.*
