THIS ARTICLE ANALYZES THE PROSPECTS FOR AND CONSTRAINTS ON THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF ELECTORAL DEMOCRACY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF DEPENDENT CAPITALIST AND SOCIAL FORMATIONS IN LATIN AMERICA. IT IS ARGUED THAT FUNDAMENTAL INCONGRUENCIES BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC REGIME FORMS AND THE UNDERLYING SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF DEPENDENT CAPITALISM IMPEDE THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF DEMOCRACY AND ENGENDER ENDEMIC SOCIAL AND POLITICAL TURMOIL. AN ALTERATION IN THE SOCIAL FORMATION OF DEPENDENT CAPITALISM MAY BE A PREREQUISITE FOR GENUINE AND EFFECTIVE POLITICAL DEMOCRACY. IT FOLLOWS THAT THE INADEQUACY OF EXISTING DEMOCRATIC CHANNELS MAY PRECLUDE NONREVOLUTIONARY MEANS OF ELICITING BASIC CHANGES IN THE SOCIAL FORMATION.

The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion in Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) has become increasingly significant and contested. Through an examination of ECHR Article 9, its drafting history, and the related jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), Caroline K. Roberts challenges the classic approach to this right in the literature. Roberts argues that claims that there is, or should be, a clear binary and hierarchical distinction between the absolutely protected internal realm and the qualified external realm in this right are not founded textually or jurisprudentially. Rather, the primary materials suggest that the internal and external aspects are deeply interrelated, and this is reflected in the ECtHR's nuanced and holistic approach to ECHR Article 9 protection. This comprehensive, rigorous and up-to-date reappraisal of ECHR Article 9 and the related ECtHR jurisprudence will be essential reading for academics and practitioners.
