Abstract
Description
Pese a la creciente literatura sobre la calidad de la democracia, el tema aún no es un robusto programa de investigación, anclado en la teoría comparada de la democracia. Un paso importante en tal sentido es reconocer que se trata de un concepto derivado de un objeto original, al que califica un concepto de democracia claramente especificado. Sin embargo, el estudio de la calidad de la democracia implica ampliar nuestra comprensión sobre la democracia, pues requiere incluir aspectos que van más allá de su definición procedimental como régimen político. Sobre estas premisas, el artículo esboza las relaciones entre democracia, calidad de la democracia y democratización y, aplica esta propuesta teórica a la suscinta evaluación de los sistemas políticos de Centroamérica.
A growing body of literature on the quality of democracy has emerged in the past two decades. However, if this approach holds any promise, much work remains to be done. The conceptual links between democracy and quality of democracy, as well as between the latter and democratization, need to be carefully specified. The quality of democracy is a derivate concept that should be tightly woven to its root: a theoretically and empirically grounded concept of democracy. However, not any concept of democracy will do. I argue that the quality of democracy approach implies broadening up our understanding of democracy to include issues beyond its procedural definition as a political regime. The article applies this analytical framework to the study of Central American political systems.
