  • Problemas de democracia en Honduras
    by DANIEL VASQUEZ,  
    1/2/2019

    The present study on the characteristics of the Honduran political system tries to provide elements to understand why, over the last ten years, the Central American country has been the scene of numerous crises, whose consequences have favoured variations of political identities, and the development of authoritarian or neo-populist options. Following the reflections of professors Charles W. Anderson and Mario Posas, this text proposes the identification of the main “power contenders” and their interaction with each other, as the interpretive key to decipher the challenges Honduras is facing. The article can serve as a starting point to contextualise the recent “migrant caravans” and the recent conflicts between political parties and the different sectors of organized civil society.

    A adoção da Constituição democrática de 1988 foi marcada pela vontade de romper com o período autoritário e de incluir a participação ampla dos cidadãos brasileiros nos processos decisórios locais, estaduais e nacionais. Após 30 anos a linguagem da inclusão dos cidadãos e da Constituição cidadã foi retomada pelos políticos de todos os níveis de governos para marcar a ambição democrática e inclusive de suas ambições particulares.
