Polarización, fragmentación y radicalismo

Polarization, fragmentation, and radicalism

Authors

  • Valeria Lozada Gallo Orcid

  • Abstract

    The 29 issue of Revista Elecciones proposes a cross-cutting perspective on democracies through the lens of fragmentation and polarization processes at the national, regional, and global levels. It seeks to represent the different forms these concepts take in real-life situations and the actors involved, with the aim of providing a broader view of these processes: the moments that led to them, their configuration, and its results.
