Abstract
There is currently a war against democracy, which is the
result of the consolidation of the globalization process and
the hegemony of neoliberal political and economic ideals.
We have arrived at a moment in history in which the demo-
cratic regime is no longer able to respond to the aspirations
of the population, the citizen is increasingly in disbelief
of political agents, which is reflected in less massive votes
and in representatives who assume their positions without
broad legitimacy. This picture requires a careful look by
researchers and those who participate in one way or an-
other in the political process. It is important to identify the
problems so that viable solutions can be sought. One cannot
simply give up on the system that, so far, has proved to be
the most effective, as the options (populism, anarchy, total-
itarianism, etc.) are not at all desirable.
