Resumo: It is notorious how the fights promoted by indigenous movements in Latin America turn those people in naturally collective and political individuals who have their own demands and who have as their innermost intention the modification of the State and of the representative democracy. The fight for free-determination of those indigenous communities poses new issues for the political thought. Through the analysis of the Mexican Zapataís army for National Freedom, we can have a wider view of the contributions and problems autonomous governments bring to the scenario of Latin America, confronting them to the western model of a democratic State with homogenized tendencies. Only the acceptance of international agreements is not enough for the effectuation of respect to pluri-nationality of the state. It is also needed that these movements be able to transcend their ethnical specificity and promote a joint action with other movements in the fight for a more participative democracy.

A luta por livre-determinação das comunidades indígenas deita novas questões para o pensamento político. Através da análise das comunidades mexicanas do Exército Zapatista de Libertação Nacional percebemos as contribuições e problemáticas que o exercício de governos autônomos podem trazer para o quadro da A.L. de uma forma mais ampla, confrontando-os com o modelo de democracia ocidental, baseado em um Estado com tendências homogeneizadoras. Apenas a ratificação de convênios internacionais, não é suficiente para a concretização do respeito a plurinacionalidade do Estado, para tanto, se faz necessário que estes movimentos consigam transcender sua especificidade étnica e atuem em conjunto com outros movimentos na luta por uma democracia mais participativa.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2005-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/216410.5433/2176-6665.2005v10n2p55Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2005); 55-74Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2005); 55-74Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 10 n. 2 (2005); 55-742176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/2164/1867Copyright (c) 2005 Alex Hilsenbeckinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHilsenbeck, Alex2022-06-01T13:04:15Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2164Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:37:27.073629Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
