Apuntes para una refundamentación de la democracia

democracia, constituyente, autodeterminación, republicanismo, deliberacionismoResumen
Desde un enfoque normativo e interdisciplinario se realiza una crítica a la democracia liberal-representativa a partir del modelo principal-agente, lo cual supone identificar un conflicto de interés político que vicia el gobierno representativo. Se muestra, a continuación, cómo ese conflicto, en distintas versiones, aparece en teorías de la ciencia política, la administración pública y el derecho, y que su resolución reiteradamente implica cierta separación de poderes. Con base en este análisis, se propone un nuevo fundamento para la democracia, consistente en la propiedad popular directa del sistema político, que puede institucionalizarse en un Poder Ciudadano.
