The traditional basis of politics in Colombia and the challenge towards a pluralist democracy.

Narváez, Christian Alexander | 2012

This text gathers the discussions maintained by sorne authors concerning the contradictions of the Colombian political system that oscillates between the modern and traditional, produ­ cing a malformation in the institutions and the forms of political association, which far decades has prevented the development of a participative democratic and inclusive project, and the consolidation of a real condition of citizenship, at the same time turning violence into the principal method of response to crisis unleashed by this phenomena, through the diverse agents and forces that make up the system.
