Régimen, derechos fundamentales y sociales en Latinoamérica, 2019

In contemporary Latin America, the asymmetric meaning given to the dimensions of democracy by the regimes of each country, configures the implementation of public policies that are expressed in the protection or violation of Fundamental and Social Rights. The objective of this work was to make an approach to the state of Fundamental and Social Rights, from Dahl's perspective on the levels of democracy identifiable in the Latin American regimes 2017-2019. In essence, the design and application that is socialized is based on a documentary review and analysis methodology. In this context, the Latin American continent goes through a stage of asymmetric development of democratic processes, observing polarizations, from states with high levels of democracy such as Uruguay, Costa Rica and Chile, to authoritarian states such as Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba. The study found that the ideational structures of the dominant regimes configure teleologies typical of the Presidency and its environment, which affect the dimensions and indicators of democracy, and, in the exercise of Fundamental and Social rights. It concludes that the modality of regimes configures levels of democratization that are expressed in the protection or violation of Fundamental and Social Rights. In the case of authoritarianism, the replication of institutional strategies of minimization in the exercise of political rights is observed, based on ideational structures that permeate democratic values and distort the dimensions and indicators of democracy.
