Abstract

In this paper we intend to complete three specific and argumentative objectives. First, to reconstruct the new theorizations about democratic deconsolidation developed from a pluralist conception of democracy by diverse and prominent political scientists. Secondly, to present the recent philosophical–political conceptualizations made by R. Gargarella on the complex political phenomenon of democratic erosion. Thirdly, to make explicit certain exploratory hypotheses after observing this phenomenon corrupting the politics, which is coherent and consistent with a) an interdisciplinary approach to the politics, combining descriptive and normative presuppositions; as well as b) a reflexive republican conception of democracy, which promotes reflexivity, reciprocity and non–domination, as evaluative normative standards. These three constitute an evaluative normative criterion of greater explanatory capacity and transformative potentiality than those emerging from a pluralist conception of democracy
