Democracia deliberativa: una crítica

El presente articulo se propone analizar desdeuna perspectiva institucionalista las dificultades presentes en la teoria de la democracia deliberativa. A pesar que un numero significativo de filosofos y teoricos politicos han argumentado en favor de la concepcion deliberativista de la democracia, sostengo que su traduccion en mecanismos institucionales concretos la convierte en un ideal regulativo antes que en una posibilidad concreta de arreglos institucionales precisos. En particular, senalo que la teoria no ha podido resolver la indeterminacion de la arena de deliberacion; la tendencia a la corporativizacion de la participacion ni los detalles de la ingenieria institucional que podria alentar la deliberacion. Asi, la democracia deliberativa debe ser vista no como un manual de instrucciones sino como un tipo ideal regulativo.//This article analyzes from an institutional perspective the difficulties present in the deliberative theory of democracy. Although a significant number of philosophers and political theorists have argued in favor of the deliberative conception of democracy, I argue that its translation into concrete institutional mechanisms makes it a regulative ideal rather than a real possibility of precise institutional arrangements. In particular, I note that the theory is not prepared to resolve the indeterminacy of the specific deliberation arenas; the trend towards a corporatist participation and, finally, to specify the precise institutional arrangements that could encourage deliberation. Therefore, deliberative democracy should be considered not an "instruction manual" but as an ideal type.
