| Sumario: | This document offers a comprehensive review of the contemporary debate on democracy and digitalization, articulating the main theoretical and empirical contributions to this discussion. Its central objective is to explain how digitalization has reconfigured the forms and possibilities of public deliberation, collective action, political participation, and the institutional capacity of the state, highlighting both its democratizing potential and its systemic risks. The central argument maintains that democracy in the context of digitalization cannot be understood solely as a technological phenomenon, nor as a simple process of online communication. Digitalization can only strengthen democracy if it is explicitly oriented toward the production of informational public goods and the expansion of civic capacities. At this point, state regulation of platforms plays a crucial role, without inhibiting freedom of expression. The methodology employed is a comparative documentary analysis that reviews theoretical literature, foundational works, case studies, and normative proposals from authors specializing in democracy and digitalization. |
