Eugenio Garcia-Huidobro

Eugenio García-Huidobro is a J.S.D. candidate at Yale Law School, where he is conducting research on the evolving role of national audit institutions in contemporary governance. His dissertation explores how these institutions shape—and are shaped by—changing conceptions of legality, managerialism, discretion, and accountability.

His academic interests include administrative law, constitutional theory, and regulatory governance, with a particular focus on Latin America. He is also currently writing an essay on the sweeping transformation of Mexico's administrative state brought about by the 2024 constitutional amendments.

Eugenio holds an LL.M. from Yale Law School, where he was a Fulbright Scholar, and an LL.B. from the Catholic University of Chile. Since 2022, he has served as an assistant professor of law at the Catholic University of Chile and is currently on academic leave.

His scholarship has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including the International Journal of Constitutional Law and Global Constitutionalism. Since 2023, he has also been a regular columnist for El País, engaging broader audiences in debates on law, democracy, and institutional reform.

His international academic experience includes appointments as a Fox Visiting Scholar at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) at the Australian National University (2017–2018), and as a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg (2019).

In addition to his academic work, Eugenio serves on the board of the Teatro Municipal de Las Condes, one of Chile's leading performing arts institutions, where he is a member of the subcommittee on programming. Since 2021, he has served as co-president of the Chilean Chapter of the International Society of Public Law (ICON•S). Eugenio has provided expert testimony before the Argentine and Chilean senates and frequently advises the Chilean Congress, the executive branch, and regulatory agencies on matters of administrative and constitutional law.
