The so-called “crisis” of liberal democracy is one of the subjects that receives the most attention in the political science and public opinion. The application of new technologies to the communicative process, with the consequent reorganization of public space; the moment populist that we are living in, with the proliferation of “strong men” and games that challenge some of the assumptions of the civic culture liberal; growing tecnocratización of policy decisions; the expansion of the supranational framework of political action, even the own effect of the pandemic, which has defied the usual inertia with which we were solving the problems of collective order, are phenomena that are crowded in the contemporary discussion. For few are the symptoms of the crisis of our traditional form of government; for others, the logical adaptation of democracy and social change. In this cycle, some of the best specialists will reflect around the keys of the current transformations of democracy.
