Abstract

El estudio de la democracia en América Latina parece de por sí una tarea desconcertante. La existencia de experiencias tan distintas como una democracia estable sin visos militaristas en Costa Rica; sucesivas dictaduras del más autoritario cuño desde el Caribe hasta la Patagonia; regímenes sostenidos por contiendas electorales oscurecidas por el fraude, la corrupción y la coerción en México y Colombia; populismos disfrazados de democracia en Argentina, México y Brasil; y variados esquemas de poder donde las elites justifican institucionalmente su perpetuación en el poder; son apenas una muestra del desafío que tal empresa representa.
