The analysis of the political situation of the Andean countries and their current democracies usually makes mention of the difficulties and deficiencies around the political representation of their citizens. In many ways, it would even give the impression that the present andean countries suffer from a chronic crisis of political representation. The analysis of the empirical evidence that is generally used to account for the state of political representation within the andean countries reveals, however, that there are both moments of deterioration and a certain recoveryin the perceptions and evaluations of citizens in relation to the functioning of democracy, representative institutions, mechanisms and channels of representation, governments and elected officials, and so on. Realizing the nature and dynamics of these changes is the main objective of this article. Along the way, it is not surprising that some of these processes, which may well be defined as the recovery of political representation, happen mainly in Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia. |
