ABSTRACT: The
performance of weak democratic governments provides the conditions for business
elites or political parties to isolate or focus public goods on society. The
relationship between the State and society is nourished by positive freedoms
and dignifies them, however, a
government is required that amalgamates the objectives of the State, public
services to the needs of the population, social capital, and limits negative
freedoms. The objective of this article is to analyze the problems of
governments in their national and local spheres, to consolidate their democracy
through electoral or political channels and then to ensure a required capacity
to satisfy the provision of services—formal
arrangements—to demonstrate a efficiency, capacity and coherence to govern with
mechanisms that demonstrate decisional capacity that consolidates democratic
life.
