CADAL renewed its agreement with the German foundation Bertelsmann Stiftung to translate and publish in Spanish the methodology, executive summary, global trends and regional chapters of the Bertelsmann Transformation Index (BTI). The 2020 edition will include an annex that places the trends revealed in the framework of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. Meanwhile, CADAL will use the BTI for the elaboration of articles and reports that deepen in the specific performance of countries, in the period from 2006 to date. The BTI 2020 demonstrates that democracy is under increasing pressure worldwide and that there is an erosion of the rule of law and political freedoms. This applies, of course, to Latin America and the Caribbean.
