We learned last week of the passing of Carlos Acuña, professor of political science at the Universidad Nacional de San Martín. He was an early Kellogg visiting fellow and part of the Institute's formative years. Our gratitude to @bgarciaholgado.bsky.social‬ for this beautiful tribute: bit.ly/45HIVTw

Excited to share my latest #OpenAccess publication!

I develop a theory on how courts can counter executive aggrandizement—even in unlikely contexts—offering a fresh perspective on #DemocraticResilience.

I welcome any feedback, reactions, or questions!
