Latin American social sciences present manifestations of Eurocentrism, an axial feature of the rationality of the colonial/modern power pattern. In the case of the debates on the problem of democracy that take place within the framework of contemporary political theory, this is presented in different forms and has consequences on the ways in which existing Latin American democracies are interpreted and on the prescriptive models that seek to guide their practice. This leads us to the need for epistemological vigilance over the concepts we use to think about political practices. In this article, we attempt to address some of the common concepts in those debates from the perspective provided by the critique of eurocentrism. Las ciencias sociales latinoamericanas presentan manifestaciones del eurocentrismo, rasgo axial de la racionalidad propia del patrón de poder colonial/moderno. En el caso de los debates acerca del problema de la democracia que se dan en el marco de la teoría política contemporánea, esto se presenta bajo diferentes formas y tiene consecuencias sobre los modos en que se interpretan las democracias latinoamericanas existentes y sobre los modelos prescriptivos que pretenden orientar su práctica. Esto nos lleva a la necesidad de realizar una vigilancia epistemológica sobre los conceptos que utilizamos para pensar las prácticas políticas. En este artículo, intentamos abordar algunos de los conceptos habituales en esos debates desde la perspectiva que brinda la crítica del eurocentrismo.
