| description |
In her book, Democracia sin atajos, Cristina Lafont starts from three seemingly contested conceptions of democracy, namely: purely epistemic, deeply pluralistic and lottocratic. All three alternative conceptions, according to Lafont, lead to blind deference, which is incompatible with the ideal of self-government, since under conditions of blind deference, society lacks the mechanisms to control and challenge political decisions that coerce it. In this paper, I will argue that while Lafont claims that mini-publics and other democratic innovations lead us from deference to blind deference and away from the democratic ideal of self-government, this is not the case, or rather, it depends on the context. In some contexts, mini-publics and other instruments of democratic innovation make deference less blind than it actually is. One such context is the context of decision-making in global affairs, since we do not have a global democratic system to make such decisions. To support my objection, I will explain that if we accept the traditional distinction between the ideal and non-ideal conceptions of democracy, and the distinction between end-state vs. transitional theory, we can also accept a series of shortcuts, the substitute shortcuts: those aimed at solving practical problems identified with the non-ideal conception of democracy, in our case practical global problems.

Las tres concepciones alternativas, según la autora, conducen a la deferencia ciega que es incompatible con el ideal de autogobierno, pues bajo condiciones de deferencia ciega la sociedad carece de mecanismos para controlar e impugnar las decisiones políticas que la coaccionan. En este trabajo sostendré que si bien Lafont mantiene que los mini-públicos y otras innovaciones democráticas nos conducen de la deferencia a la deferencia ciega, y nos alejan del ideal democrático de autogobierno, esto no es así, o mejor dicho, depende del contexto. En algunos contextos los mini-públicos y otras herramientas de innovación democrática hacen la deferencia menos ciega de cuanto lo es efectivamente. Uno de esos contextos es el de la toma de decisiones sobre los asuntos globales, ya que no tenemos ningún sistema democrático de toma de esas decisiones. Para fundar mi objeción explicaré que, si aceptamos la tradicional distinción entre la concepción ideal y no-ideal de democracia, así como también la distinción entre estado de cosas como fin (como objetivo) y una teoría de transición, podemos también aceptar una serie de atajos, los atajos sustitutivos: aquellos destinados a resolver problemas de índole práctica identificados con la concepción no-ideal de la democracia, en nuestro caso, problemas prácticos globales.2023text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8990917(Revista) ISSN 0122-9893Revista Derecho del Estado, ISSN 0122-9893, Nº. 55, 2023 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Edición Especial), pags. 105-123spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
