VAZQUEZ ALMANZA, Paola Patricia. The democratic transition paradigm. Normative biases and blind spots. Polis [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.2, pp.215-240.  Epub 10-Abr-2023. ISSN 2594-0686.  https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/polis/2022v18n2/vazquez.

The article discusses some theoretical blind spots of the democratic paradigm. To this end, the frameworks of transitional theory are examined, contemplating the constant tension between the explanatory capacity and the normative aspect of this epistemic paradigm. The article discusses the conceptual and methodological inadequacy of the democratic paradigm, present from the first theoretical constructions of this perspective. In this sense, there are critical parallels with the theory of modernization that can be useful in renewing the theoretical framework of democracy.
