    This paper provides an explanation for the ambiguous relationship between democracy and corruption. Using rich panel data with annual observations from 1998 to 2012 allows us to control not only for country- and time-invariant factors but also for potentialreverse causality between corruption and income levels in a 3SLS framework. Democracy reduces corruption but only in economies that have already crossed a GDP/capita level of approximately US$2,000 (in 2005 US$). For poorer nations, democratization is suggested to increase corruption. Other institutional characteristics are unlikely to drive this result and findings are robust to a variety of robustness checks and quantile regressions.

    GUARANTEE BASED CONSTITUTIONALISM: DEMOCRACY AND POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY WITHOUT THE PEOPLE
    (Facultad de Derecho, Universidad Catolica de Chile, 2019-04-01) J. GAVIRIA MIRA; J. GAVIRIA MIRA
    This work seeks to analyse the defence of constitutional review made by the Italian legal theorist Luigi Ferrajoli and how it is related with his conception of democracy (a conception marked by anti-popular elements). In order to do this, it takes four particularly relevant aspects in Ferrajoli's reconstruction of democracy (understood as substantive democracy) and its relationship with constitutional review, namely (i) the idea of separation between form and substance, (ii) the denial of conflict between rights and the absence of judicial discretion, (iii) the pessimistic view of politics (that contrast with Ferrajoli's optimist view about judicial work) and, finally, (iv) the paternalistic elements imbedded in his conception of democracy.
