In my three previous articles I have constructed the following argument.
shaft old authoritarian regime, has said, what were the combination of hyper-presidentialism over a hegemonic party more interaction between formal rules established in the Constitution and secondary laws, and a wide range of informal rules and meta powers -constitutional. This axis authoritarian
weakened gradually progressed as electoral competition was also the focus of governance old regime was dismantled without giving rise to a new governance arrangement. In this regard I refer to a transition aborted.
What followed after 1997 was a continuation of arrangements under the leadership of another party. What has happened has been a consistent decline where disentangling the political center leading to a gradual emancipation and discontinuous both the states as sections of society while operating slot colonization of the state apparatus or country by powers that be. Former players in the heat of re-dislocation is functionalized and play a new role but with the old costume. I think some corporations union in the new political role of the governors, the unchecked dominance of the media and certainly in organized crime. All this is not continuity but a new regime.
The decomposition of the old regime expressed in social fragmentation, jibarización state entities and privatization of public spaces created a kind of authoritarian metastases and the emergence of a special-for transient-specific and I call the Ottoman regime, with reference to the phenomenon that the British historian Timothy Garton Ash described referring to communist societies in Eastern Europe: "By this I mean flexible in an analogy with the decline of the Ottoman Empire a long, slow process of decay in the course of which observe an unplanned emancipation, gradual and discontinuous both constituent states of the empire of their own societies for their states. (The uses of adversity, 1990: 253). Typically
Ottoman rule is the administration of the decay that is an oligarchy of political management. This management does not seek broad participation of citizens. On the contrary encourages absenteeism, cynicism and behavior through selective targeting of political messages to different niches citizens. The distinctive sign of the regime Ottoman is the lack of space leading to binding agreements, alliances, coalitions. Cope
citizen requires building a coalition whose main shaft rotates around the policy as a public good. That is politics as a means of producing solutions for peaceful coexistence. The coalition requires a diversity of social and political actors. Requires new methods that do not disdain to anything electronic media and new possibilities on the Internet, radio and television. But above all emphasize the political discourse.
Can set a pole of the left that links social struggles, appeal to the middle class and attract important sectors of the business without losing its call to the popular classes? Yes, but only from a profound cultural transformation. You need another way to perceive politics. Another way to link the fight parliamentary electoral exercise and social demands. Another form of government with a central purpose: To reduce inequality from the full exercise of democracy.
It also requires intelligence and cleverness, generosity.
