“…Given its illegal wiretapping of the opposition and media, however, this raises the question, how skewed must the playing field be? More significantly, Colombia’s democracy was corrupted by the political influence of drug traffickers in Congress, without whom Uribe did not have a majority, as the parapolítica scandal revealed (see Bejarano et al 2010, 127–28). I agree that Colombia remained a democracy in this period, albeit a defective one.…”

Making Sense of Competitive Authoritarianism: Lessons from the Andes

Scholarly attention has increasingly shifted from diminished subtypes of democracy to hybrid regimes, particularly competitive authoritarianism. Such regimes retain democracy's formal features while failing to meet its minimum standards. When properties of distinct concepts like democracy and authoritarianism are combined, however, confusion, inaccuracy, and mischaracterization of cases may occur. By disaggregating political systems into electoral institutions, surrounding rights and freedoms, constitutionalism, and the rule of law, this article complicates the binary distinction between a midrange definition of democracy and competitive authoritarianism. A number of Andean cases are found to fall on the spectrum of defective democracies between these categories. Defective democracies break down when rulers violate the conditions necessary for institutionalized alternation in power by means of public participation and loyal opposition in an electoral regime. Given leaders' reliance on electoral legitimacy, however, even defective democracies may prove surprisingly resilient.

Este trabajo desarrolla, primero, la categoría de anocracia como una forma de superar distintos obstáculos (teóricos, epistémicos, metodológicos) dentro de las caracterizaciones que históricamente se han hecho sobre el régimen y el sistema políticos colombiano. Las alternativas nocionales hoy disponibles sugieren quedar aún entrampadas en categorías obsoletas, anacrónicas y reductoras que obligarían una revisión de fondo en su utilidad y verosimilitud de la mano de enfoques complejos. De allí, en segundo lugar, se expone una tipificación de qué es (y podría ser) la anocracia como forma de gobierno basada en una síntesis teórica-empírica-histórica sustentada en el caso paradigmático y demostrativo de Colombia (1948-2022). Un tercer apartado se propone dar cuenta de uno de los mecanismos especiales, aunque no exclusivos de la condición anocrática: los estados de excepción pre y post la (nueva) Constitución política expedida en 1991, pues esta figura legal resulta ser tanto una vía como una guía dentro de la evolución anocrática para el caso colombiano.
