Abstract

Abstract In recent decades, the crisis faced by the Colombian government has become evident, so much so that a portion of the people has questioned the effectiveness of democracy based on the social contract. In spite of this, it must be said that democracy -as many philosophers have argued- is the form of government most germane to the state of human nature, since it operates under the principle of legal and social equality. For this reason, this article aims to show how pluralistic democracies may be an alternative form of government to operate in the political pluralism that has swarmed in recent years in Colombian society, so as to achieve real democratic representativeness and participation which may solve the context's problems. [...]this it is not a proposal to eliminate democracy as a form of government, but to decentralize power in order to propose mostly effective solutions. Keywords: democracies, political pluralism, pluralistic democracies, differentiated citizenship, citizenship education.
