VAZQUEZ VALENCIA, Luis Daniel. La democracia deliberativa y la confrontación entre poderes fácticos en una decisión gubernamental: modificación al artículo 77 de la Ley de Propiedad Industrial. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2010, vol.52, n.210, pp.105-131. ISSN 0185-1918.

The deliberative democracy bases its expectations of results in interactions of communication of a normative type lessening the relations of power and domination that exist in politics. It is interesting to observe how a deliberation is made on governmental decision making, through case studies. In this frame, the article analyzes the confrontation of two factual powers (the Group for a Better Country and the transnational pharmaceuticals), the lobbying, the use of political resources, the role of the state and the final corollary in the deliberation for the public decision making: the modification of the article 77 of the Law of Industrial Property.

Keywords : Jürgen Habermas; John Rawls; models of democracy; deliberative democracy; pharmaceutical industry; pressure groups; lobbying; political resources; governmental decisions; legislative process; Law of Industrial Property.
