Israel Mamani Sanabria
I am a Bolivian lawyer, researcher, and public policy specialist working at the intersection of law, governance, technology, and democratic institutions. My research follows a single throughline — from an early study of social networks and fundamental rights to today's questions of information governance and institutional accountability — informed by a decade spent on both sides of power: advising from within the Bolivian state, and shaping strategy from the front lines of civil-society advocacy, including an ongoing strand of work on transnational law and socio-environmental rights.
01 — Overview
Academic Rigor
An LL.M. in Investment Treaty Arbitration from Uppsala University and an M.Sc. in Constitutional Law from Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar ground this work in a strong theoretical and legal foundation.
Dual Perspective
A professional path spanning both a state legal advisor and a civil-society strategist yields a 360-degree understanding of how state power, technology, and institutions interact.
Strategic Experience
Over a decade of experience, from shaping policy within Bolivia's state gas enterprise to guiding transnational advocacy for a leading environmental foundation.
02 — Core Focus
Where law, technology, and democratic institutions meet
This work concentrates on how legal and institutional design responds to new forms of power — state, corporate, and increasingly digital. It draws on a dual vantage from within the state and from the front lines of civil society, spanning public policy analysis, a growing focus on information governance and accountability in democratic institutions, and an ongoing strand on the transnational defense of socio-environmental rights in Latin America.
