- Abstract: While recognizing the heuristic limits of the concept "democratic quality" this article argues that measuring democracy over time is the most adequate way to identify, discuss and analyze its presence in every country. "Democratic quality" sheds new light on both concept elaboration and empirical studies because it synthetizes two political processes that have developed in the region in the last twenty five years: democratic transition and democratic consolidation. This category allows us to define the current state of Latin American countries in terms of their institutional and societal development of democratic life. We can thus, at least in theory, observe and propose an integrated improvement of existing political regimes in a context in which modern representative democracies are reorganized in terms of their new attributes and rights. Based on these premises, this article proposes two interrelated paths of analysis: a) considering the model of "democratic quality" to analyze Latin American democracies and characterize their present problems; and b) examining the relevance of this model's heuristic power. The main thesis holds that not even the most visible long or short-term transformations undergone by our democratic political legal codes, since its inception, are sufficient in and of themselves to bring us closer to the democratic quality model, or in other words, to the basis of a democratic State of law.

- Abstract: Este trabajo reconoce las limitaciones conceptuales de la categoría de calidad democrática al tiempo que reconoce que si el modo más factible para registrar, debatir y analizar la afirmación de la democracia en cualquier país es midiéndola en el tiempo (no en el inmediato sino en el mediato), la novedad que el tema de la calidad democrática expresa para América Latina, tanto teórica como empíricamente debe comprenderse como la culminación sintética y representativa de dos procesos políticos que han tenido lugar en la región en los últimos veinticinco años: el proceso de transición democrática (el paso de regímenes autoritarios hacia formas inequívocamente democráticas) y el proceso de consolidación democrática (el firme establecimiento y legitimación de las estructuras básicas y de intermediación de los ordenamientos democráticos). Con esta categoría se busca establecer en qué punto se encuentran nuestros países en términos del desarrollo institucional y societal de la vida democrática. Es decir, la categoría permite, en teoría, observar, identificar y proponer el mejoramiento integral de los regímenes políticos existentes en la actual reorganización de la moderna democracia representativa (especialmente, en la imperiosa obligación de discernir cómo dotarla de nuevos atributos y derechos) y aún en las vías de su mejoramiento. Con estas premisas, el autor avanza simultáneamente en dos direcciones interrelacionadas: a) considerar el modelo de "calidad democrática" para analizar las democracias de América Latina y caracterizar su problemática actual; y b) examinar la pertinencia del modelo en sus capacidades heurísticas.
