La reforma política concretada en agosto de 2012 fue el resultado de un intenso proceso de discusión y negociación, que buscaba establecer mecanismos que favorecieran la creación de mayorías legislativas y la capacidad efectiva de gobierno o gobernabilidad. Este artículo analiza los temas que se sometieron a debate y el contexto en el que se llevó a cabo, así como sus implicaciones, con referencia a su sustento teórico. Se concluye que la mencionada reforma política contiene avances significativos, y se reflexiona sobre posibles futuras modificaciones.]]></p></abstract>

The political reform achieved in August 2012 was the result of an intense discussion and negotiation processes, which sought to establish mechanisms in favour of the creation of legislative majorities and the effective capacity of government, or governance. This article analyses the topics subject to debate and the context in which it took place, as well as the implications, with reference to its theoretical support. It is concluded that the aforementioned political reform contains significant advances, and it reflects on possible future modifications.]]></p></abstract>
