A finales de la d cada de los setenta se inicia la tercera ola de la democracia. Am rica Latina rompi el ciclo pol tico que entre 1945-1978 produjo frecuentes oscilaciones entre reg menes democr ticos y autoritarios. Por primera vez algunos pa ses experimentaron los procesos democr ticos. A pesar de este hito hist rico, a n persisten amenazas para la consolidaci n democr tica. Los Estados deben enfrentar problemas de corrupci n, erosi n de los Estados de Derecho, altos niveles de impunidad, falta de transparencia en las acciones gubernamentales, as como altas tasas de desempleo, desigualdad, pobreza y violencia. Lo anterior se traduce en crecientes sentimientos anti-pol ticos y anti-democr ticos en la regi n. La necesidad de generar pol ticas p blicas en torno a la consolidaci n de la gobernabilidad democr tica es una de las razones por las cuales FLACSO est desarrollando el proyecto "Gobernabilidad y convivencia democr tica en Am rica Latina" con el auspicio de la Agencia Espa ola de Cooperaci n Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID). Este libro se inserta en este proyecto y recoge los aportes de los Consejeros a Titulo Individual de la FLACSO. Los autores contribuyen con la generaci n de conocimiento sobre la gobernabilidad democr tica desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, desde la pol tica, la ciudadan a, la exclusi n, la memoria y la demograf a. Description in English] Latin America and the Caribbean: Democratic Governability Politics, Citizenship, Exclusion, Memory and Demography The late 1970s saw the beginning of the third wave of democracy. Latin America broke the political cycle that from 1945-1978 produced frequent oscillations between democratic and authoritarian regimes. Some countries experienced democratic processes for the first time. Despite this historic milestone, threats to democratic consolidation still persist. States must confront problems of corruption, the erosion of the rule of law, high levels of impunity, a lack of transparency in government actions, and high levels of unemployment, inequality, poverty and violence. This translates into increasing anti-political and anti-democratic feeling in the region. The need to generate public policies centered around the consolidation of democratic governability is one of the reasons why FLACSO is developing the project entitled "Governability and Democratic Coexistence in Latin America and the Caribbean", sponsored by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). This book is part of that project and brings together the contributions of the Independent Advisors to FLACSO. The authors contribute towards the generation of knowledge on democratic governability in an interdisciplinary approach, from the perspectives of politics, citizenship, exclusion, memory and demography.
