DUQUE ACOSTA, CARLOS ANDRÉS. THE ETHICS OF DISCOURSE IN THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGE OF (NEO)POPULISM IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE RADICALIZATION OF DEMOCRACY. CS [online]. 2014, n.13, pp.47-84. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i13.1821.

This work explores the possible incompatibility between two ways of understanding contemporay ethico-political phenomena related to the conditions of the possibility of Radical Democracy in contemporary Latin America: Jürguen Habermas's ethics of discourse and Ernesto Laclau's notion of politics as a hegemonic construction in a (neo-)populist context. The aim of this exercise is to illustrate the possibility of said incompatibility through examining the case of the administration of Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa
