La teoría de la transición: un análisis conceptual

Abstract

This paper looks at the paradigm of democratic transition that served in explaining political change in several nations starting from the identification of the anomalies of this paradigm as an explanatory model. The dimensions of analysis are discussed in order to identify and criticize its ideological position, which provides: an ideal type of functional state for the market economy, and a form of equality between citizens limited to the right to vote. The main objective is to identify the anomalies within the paradigm since we aim to establish the analytical elements that will allow the criticism of the alternative explanatory model of the Quality of democracy.
