Pascual is a PhD candidate in Law at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. He holds an LLB from University of Chile and an LLM from the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳.

His research aims to explore how police institutions build their institutional identity and to what extent this process is connected to the construction and imagination of the nation-state. Using Chile as a case study, the project also seeks to contribute to answering questions about the nature and role of the police as well as their relationship to the law and the constitution.
