In this episode of Critical South the focus is on how systemic corruption influences constitutional reform in Chile. 

Professor Lawrence Hamilton has a one-on-one with Dr Camila Vergara, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Cambridge  on the ongoing quest for constitutional reform in the South American country.  She  breaks down the challenges with systemic corruption and  talks to us about the need for plebian democracy in the world. 

And in the political agenda segment  political studies scholar Moshibudi Motimele goes to Senegal where there has been an internet shut down  since June 1 due to widespread protests.
