Problemas de democracia en Honduras

The present study on the characteristics of the Honduran political system tries to provide elements to understand why, over the last ten years, the Central American country has been the scene of numerous crises, whose consequences have favoured variations of political identities, and the development of authoritarian or neo-populist options. Following the reflections of professors Charles W. Anderson and Mario Posas, this text proposes the identification of the main “power contenders” and their interaction with each other, as the interpretive key to decipher the challenges Honduras is facing. The article can serve as a starting point to contextualise the recent “migrant caravans” and the recent conflicts between political parties and the different sectors of organized civil society.
