I38-R402-article-55932024-10-23T02:59:09Z Approach to the concept of democracy at the beginnings of regional neoliberalism: a comparative exercise through three intellectual trajectories Acercamiento al concepto de democracia en los inicios del neoliberalismo regional: un ejercicio comparativo a través de tres trayectorias intelectuales Etchart, Javier political regimes democracy neoliberalism intellectuals social inequalities régimen político democracia neoliberalismo intelectuales desigualdades sociales The purpose of this papers will be to analyze the changes that the concept of democracy experienced between the first democratic stage -the one dominated by the idea of political regime- and a second moment, in which neoliberal policies penetrated and spread throughout several countries in the region. Indeed, this article is interested in answering some of the following questions: To what extent could the meaning of dominant democracy in the 1980s remain unchanged after the advance of neoliberalism in the region? What conceptual transformations occurred to capture the new political directions that spread with the advance of this new philosophy? For this, some interventions made during the 90s by three Argentine intellectuals with great recognition in the academic world will be taken, such as Guillermo O'Donnell, Carlos Strasser and Juan Carlos Portantiero, who, even with nuances, will form an initial part of the transitional paradigm and will find themselves committed to the idea of democracy as a political regime. However, and advanced democratic experiences in a new contextual framework, they will begin to notice that the progress of structural changes, and the consequent social inequalities, cannot remain alien to a conceptualization of democracy. El propósito del presente trabajo es analizar los cambios que el concepto de democracia experimentó entre la primera etapa democrática –aquella dominada por la idea de régimen político– y un segundo momento en el que las políticas neoliberales penetraron y se extendieron por varios países de la región. En efecto, este artículo está enfocado en responder algunos de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿Hasta qué punto el significado de democracia dominante en los años 80 permaneció inalterado luego del avance del neoliberalismo en la región? ¿Qué trasformaciones conceptuales se dieron para abordar los nuevos rumbos políticos que se extendieron con el avance de esta nueva filosofía? Para ello se tomarán algunas intervenciones realizadas durante los años 90 por tres intelectuales argentinos con gran reconocimiento en el mundo académico, como son Guillermo O´Donnell, Carlos Strasser y Juan Carlos Portantiero, quienes, aun con matices, formarán parte inicial del paradigma transicional y se comprometieron con la idea de democracia como régimen político. Sin embargo, y avanzadas las experiencias democráticas en un nuevo marco contextual, comenzarán a advertir que el avance de los cambios estructurales y las consiguientes desigualdades sociales no pueden permanecer ajenas en una conceptualización sobre la democracia.
