February News
What's new @LATINNO? Winter is coming to an end in Berlin, and as the sun begins to show itself our Latin-American team regains strength to add more cases to our ever-growing database! This month we have concluded one of our sub-projects on e-participation and digital innovations in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru and we hope to be able to share our results soon. By the end of next month, the final beta version of our website should become available online, from whence we will start to upload our initial cases!

January News
What's new @LATINNO (in 2017)? Yes, we’ve crossed the 2000 cases mark!!! New research assistants, new challenges, and new cases! We've started 2017 in full speed! Since early January, we have great additions to our team, which have helped boost the coding of cases, especially those from Central America and those that involve e-participation. We now have 2054 cases, and there’s more to come! For several reasons, we had to postpone our planned conference that would take place now in February. We will hold a small launch event in June, when our data will go online. Next year we plan to organize a larger academic conference at the WZB, inviting scholars from different countries to Berlin. News on cases and publications can be found below, as well as on our website - which has had more than 7000 visitors since December!
