Abstract
Desde nuestro horizonte temporal, las transiciones a la democracia en América Latina supusieron importantes transformaciones políticas, económicas y sociales. El artículo pretende resaltar aquellos aspectos que tienen que ver con las reformas institucionales y la desigual interacción entre democracia y desarrollo en la región, así como destacar aquellos entresijos institucionales que no fueron bien resueltos y cuya incertidumbre ha provocado una segunda oleada de transiciones. Venezuela, Bolivia y Ecuador iniciaron y aprobaron procesos constituyentes que culminaron con nuevas reglas de juego, pero que no parecen haber resuelto algunas cuestiones fundamentales de la democracia.
Since our point of view, democratic transitions in Latin America brought important political, economical and social changes. The aim of this article is to emphasize those elements related to institutional reforms and the unequal relationship between democracy and development in the region. I also want to explain some institutional issues that were not well resolved and how them caused the “second wave” of transitions. Countries as Venezuela, Bolivia or Ecuador even approved new constitutions, with new political rules, but it seems not to have gotten important improvements in main aspects of democracy.
