Democracia en Revisión: Del Descontento de la Representatividad a las Lecciones del Experimento Chileno La crisis de la democracia representativa se ha manifestado de múltiples maneras, desde la caída de la participación electoral hasta el crecimiento del populismo y el escepticismo generalizado hacia las instituciones políticas.

TXS+ interviewed Cristian Candia about social physics, computational social science, collective memory, identity, and the Lixandria platform.

Contexto (disclaimers :D) Quiero iniciar esta entrada con una aclaración importante: no soy un experto en evolución humana, ni tampoco pretendo serlo. Tampoco conozco en detalle la forma en que se revisa y publica evidencia en esa área en particular.
