| Sumario: | 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. |
