Muchas cosas, como entre el bullicio, se pueden entender con una palabra. La palabra mediocracia es un buen ejemplo de ello: ¿Gobierno de los medios? ¡Nada menos! ¿Están los mass media al borde de la "toma del poder"? Lo estén o no-y más allá de lo engañosa que pueda ser tal interrogante-, lo cierto es que las sociedades diversas e interactivas que arribaron al nuevo siglo están cada vez más mediatizadas; como lo están también la política, la función de gobierno, el poder... * Artículo presentado en el marco del Programa de Becas CLACSO-Asdi para investigadores jóvenes de

This label captures the three types of democracy-representative, direct-and-participatory, and communitarianeach of which is given equal recognition in the reconfigured regime that has emerged from the recent constituent process. The model of the state that underpins this regime remains unitary, but is evolving toward a set of plurinational institutions with recognition of indigenous autonomy. The first part of this chapter discusses the actors, institutions, and practices emerging from the recent constituent process. It traces the 30-year transition from a pacted to an intercultural democracy and contrasts the provisions of the 1967 and 2009 constitutions. The next section shows how social mobilization brought about and drove forward the constituent process, resulting in new forms of direct participation that complement liberal-representative democracy. The final sections examine communitarian democracy, which may be designated "postliberal." Its guiding vision is "living well" in harmony with nature (buen vivir). The main features of a communitarian democracy-indigenous self-government in local and departmental autonomous territories-are outlined, as well as indigenous participation and representation. The principal question is to analyze the possibilities and limits of reconciling political representation, citizen participation, and self-government M. A. Cameron et al. (eds.
