Description
Summary:The «discomfort with democracy» -typical expression that expressed in the 80s of the twentieth century the dissatisfaction with its unfulfilled promises- to this day, the ar- gument has become more complex. We live in an authoritarian age. The meanings with which this concept is nourished are varied, although a first meaning is that of the mo- vement inverse to that of the democratic «third wave» announced by Huntington, which was followed by this «third wave of autocratization». In this text, reflections of a conceptual and historical order are offered, which are nouris- hed by the political thought of our days as well as the contributions of the Argentine, Uruguayan and Spanish colleagues who write in this same issue of the journal Estudios.
