Abstract
En el contexto del desarrollo de herramientas analíticas para la interpretación del sistema democrático y la evaluación de la actuación de los poderes públicos, el presente artículo intenta desarrollar las condiciones de aplicación del concepto de Democracia Nominal . Utilizado de manera complementaria a la idea de Democracia Formal y opuesta al de Democracia Real, el concepto intenta establecer un criterio funcional de descripción analítica partiendo del estado de la distribución efectiva del poder político en el contexto de las pujas sociales y corporativas que caracterizan a las sociedades capitalistas contemporáneas. La limitación objetiva de los alcances del poder democrático, más allá de las pretensiones discursivamente instaladas en torno al sistema político democrático formal, es el principal punto de atención y de apoyo para desenvolver las características propias de las formaciones sociales ligadas a Democracias nominales.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the context of the development of analytical tools for the interpretation and evaluation of the public power’s work, this article seeks showing the conditions of application of the concept of Nominal Democracy. Used as a complement of the idea of Formal Democracy and opposed to the concept of Real Democracy, the concept sustains a functional criteria of analytical description starting from the state of the effective distribution of political power in the context of social and corporative struggles, such as are present in the contemporary capitalist societies. The objective limits of the reach of democratic power, beyond the pretensions discursively installed around of the formally democratic political system, is the main focusing point and the fulcrum to develop the proper characteristics of social formations linked to Nominal Democracies.
