Abstract
NOGUEIRA, María Elena. Science and Prophecy: authoritarianism, democracy and State in three Guillermo O'Donnell's texts. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2012, n.24, pp.181-191. ISSN 1853-984X.
This brief paper presents one possible "tour" of three books of the extensive work of Guillermo O'Donnell, Contrapuntos. Ensayos escogidos sobre autoritarismo y democratización (1997), Disonancias. Críticas democráticas a la democracia (2007) and Democracia delegativa (2011). For the exposition, we considered three analytical issues: authoritarianism, democracy and "rule of law", concepts that were developed from the perspective of this author, in a comprehensive and integrated way. In order to this, we considered those texts and some others of the author and different specialists in the same issues.
Keywords : Autoritarismo burocrático; Democracia delegativa; Estado democrático de derecho; Bureaucratic authoritarianism; Delegative democracy; Democratic State of law.
