Abstract

This paper aims at the study of deliberative democracy (democract public administration) from the perspective of Jürgen Habermas and the new latin american constitutionalism as opening new democratic channels. From the evaluative documentary method and the analysis of the experiences arising from the Andean constitutionalism, we intend to clarify the relationship (tension) between constitutionalism and democracy and to identify new institutional arrangements aimed at new forms of popular participation beyond voting. It is concluded that the Latin American experience, in addition to break the barriers of absolutism (monism), through a participatory-democratic pluralism, implies an emancipatory proposal, whereby the possibility of community practices and respect for cultural diversity, breaking with the dominant paradigm of colonialism.
