SERNA, Pedro Pablo. RADICAL DEMOCRACY AND CITIZENSHIP. Eidos [online]. 2008, n.9, pp. 272-280. ISSN 2011-7477.

This paper presents two views regarding democracy and its relationship with liberal thought. Specifically it shows the main features of radical democracy and how this one can make a proper contact between individual and social aspects and respects the minimum guarantees that must be given to all individuals in order to carry out its own conception of good. It fosters adequate conditions of participation and control over public affaires. So, the paper shows the visions of Hayek and Nozick confronted to the conception of radical democracy proposed by other authors.
