This page is designed to share my work and ideas. I am a PhD candidate at the University of California, San Diego, in the joint program in Political Science of IR/PS and the Political Science Department. My research interests are primarily focused on issues related with executive-legislative relations in Latin American presidential systems: legislative procedure, broad issues of institutional change and design and public policy, role of legislative institutions in the policy-making process.
The Andean Region is my primary focus, as well as Brazil.
In August 2008, I will be joining the department of political science at University of los Andes as an assistant professor.
Thank you for visiting!
