Abstract: The paper analyzes how Bentham built utopias for Latin America, projects which for the most part remained in the making, but which nonetheless inspired dozens of regional leaders who in turn helped consolidate the new Latin American republican regimes. In addition, these projects show Bentham's concern for these overseas territories as they were transitioning to democracies.
