I15-R205-article-1632025-11-13T21:33:25Z Background on the Fragility of Latin American Democracies in the 21st Century: The Pattern of Discordant Political Inst Antecedentes de la fragilidad de las democracias latinoamericanas en el siglo XXI: el patrón de institucionalización política disonante Cavarozzi , Marcelo Institucionalización disonante regímenes políticos participación ampliada América Latina Dissonant institutionalization political regimes expanded participation Latin America This article is inspired by my insatisfaction with the Authoritarianism-Democracy dichotomies developed by political scientists in order to understand the nature of post-oligarchic political regimes in Latin America. I attempt to further develop the metaphor of “fuzzy sets” proposed by Wanderley Guilherme dos Santos. In pursuing that endeavor, and inspired by Daniel Brumberg´s concept of “dissonant institutionalization,” I argue that it could be useful for a more nuanced understanding of those political regimes emerging from the transitions to democracy of the 1980s. I argue that the new democracies have not only to deal with the reversal of authoritarian legacies. They also had to rebuild social and political institutions and scripts that had collapsed as a result of the demise of dissonant institutionalization. Este artículo parte de la insatisfacción con la dicotomía Autoritarismo-Democracia utilizada por la ciencia política convencional para clasificar los regímenes políticas de participación extendida. Y partiendo de la sugestiva imagen de ir más allá de la referencia a “conjuntos nebulosos” que hace Wanderley Guilherme dos Santos, sugiere inspirarse en el concepto de “institucionalización disonante” propuesto por Daniel Brumberg. Y desarrolla la idea que las democracias emergentes en América Latina durante el último cuarto del siglo XX no sólo se enfrentaron con el desafío de revertir el legado autoritario. Además debieron lidiar con la desestructuración de la institucionalización disonante que había funcionado como patrón de organización de los sistemas políticos latinoamericanos después del fin de los regímenes oligárquicos.
