Resumo: The article discusses the concepts of democracy and political participation through different perspectives aimed at pointing out the limitations as well as the contributions of some of those concepts for the analysis of Latin-American democracies. In the first section the article analyses democratic transition and democratization literature pointing out the deficiencies of the concept of democracy present in this literature when it comes to the approach of historical Latin American political process and more recent phenomenon of social mobilization in various countries. The second section discusses the participatory democracy literature and contrasts it with a minimalist conception of democracy. We argue that working under this perspective might lead to incomplete and superficial analysis of the Latin American democratization process.

Primeiramente o artigo analisa a literatura sobre transição democrática e democratização e aponta as deficiências do conceito de democracia presente nesta literatura, no que tange à análise de processos históricos da América Latina e de processos mais recentes de mobilização social em vários países. Na segunda sessão, o trabalho discute a literatura de democracia participativa contrastando-a com as perspectivas minimalistas de democracia. Argumenta-se que os trabalhos a partir destas perspectivas podem levar a análises incompletas e superficiais do processo de construção democrática na América Latina.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2010-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/822610.5433/2176-6665.2010v15n2p282Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2010); 282-303Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2010); 282-303Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 15 n. 2 (2010); 282-3032176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/8226/7169Copyright (c) 2010 Camila Pennainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPenna, Camila2022-05-17T13:29:56Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8226Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:37:36.159527Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
