Abstract
The debate on democracy is as rich as it is extensive, but in the context of Latin America it gains particular strength in light of long-lasting dictatorships that have shaped the sociopolitical arena of its recent fascinating history. Discussing democracy therefore means also discussing the concepts of social order, insubordination, economy, politics, the nature of continuity and change, the subject of change, and others.
