A partir de un marco teórico que distingue entre la naturaleza de la democracia y su calidad, el estudio se enfoca en tres dimensiones fundamentales: el respaldo público a la democracia, la calidad de la gobernanza y el desempeño socioeconómico. Basándose en datos de Latinobarómetro, LAPOP y The Economist Intelligence Unit, el análisis revela un persistente descontento ciudadano, deficiencias en los indicadores de gobernanza y un bajo rendimiento socioeconómico. El estudio identifica tres causas principales: la estructura socioeconómica de Paraguay, que ha producido una sociedad &#8220;invertebrada&#8221; y carente de actores colectivos; la influencia de partidos políticos clientelistas; y los bajos niveles de capital social. Aunque estas restricciones estructurales limitan las posibilidades de mejora y dificultan avances significativos en el corto plazo, el artículo argumenta que existe un margen para la acción colectiva transformadora, lo que podría abrir oportunidades para el fortalecimiento democrático en el futuro.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT This article analyzes the causes of low democratic quality in Paraguay, a topic that has received limited scholarly attention despite its significance. Using a theoretical framework that distinguishes between the nature of democracy and its quality, the study focuses on three key dimensions: public support for democracy, the quality of governance, and socioeconomic performance. Drawing on data from Latinobarómetro, LAPOP, and The Economist Intelligence Unit, the analysis reveals persistent public dissatisfaction, deficiencies in governance indicators, and poor socioeconomic outcomes. The study identifies three main explanatory factors: Paraguay&#8217;s socioeconomic structure, which has produced a fragmented and &#8220;invertebrate&#8221; society lacking collective actors; the pervasive influence of clientelist political parties; and low levels of social capital. While these structural constraints limit the prospects for improvement and hinder significant progress in the short term, the article argues that there remains potential for transformative collective action, which could create opportunities for strengthening democracy in the future.]]></p></abstract>
