The central thesis of this article consists in argueing that the actual crisis of representative democracy, due to a political fatigue that has caused a descontent and mistrust of the represented citicenship by their representatives, has provoked mainly in this century, the emergence of diverse mechanisms of direct democracy such as popular consultation, referendum, plebiscite, mandate recall and others analized in the text. To provide theoretical foundation to my thesis, several updated authors that have researched the crisis of democracy and elections, are included such as Levitsky y Ziblatt (How Democracies Die), Yasch Mounk (The People vs Democracy), Temelkuran (How to lose a country), Cadena Roa y López Leyva (The disconfort with representation in Mexico) y Van Reybrouck (Against elections, how to save democracy). In the same token and at more depth, the present crisis is analyzed through the genesis and design of representative democracy with autors such as Benajmin Contant, Hans Kelsen and Roberto Gargarella, in order to argue that its origin lies in the XVIII Century, but has now become more acute due to changing economic condictios in societies fallen wellbeing that grew during last century´s 30s and 80s; social such as the growth of migration and the new pluriethnic changes in modern societies composition, and the comunicaions revolution with internet and social media. Next is included an analysis of democracy´s types (representative, direct, paritipatory, deliberative and radical) with the purpose of proposing an armonic fusion of representative democracy´s diverse components with others of participatory democracy, as a solution to the present political crisis. Other countries´experience in that road in Latin America such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia are included to grasp a comparative view. Finally Mexico´s direct democracy´s mechanisms in force in the federal constitution (including the recent constitucional reform of December 2019) Mexico´s City constitution and other states, are presented to support the main thesis of this article. Closing remarks include counter-argument about the difficuties of constitutional engeniering for melting together both types of democracy. |

Para fundamentar teóricamente la tesis, se incluyen varios autores de actualidad que han abordado el tema de la crisis de la democracia y las elecciones, como Levitsky y Ziblatt (Cómo mueren las democracias), Yasch Mounk (El pueblo vs la democracia), Temelkuran (Cómo perder un país), Cadena Roa y López Leyva (El malestar con la representación en México) y Van Reybrouck (Contra las elecciones – cómo salvar la democracia). De igual manera, se analiza a mayor profundidad el origen de esa crisis en la génesis de la democracia representa tiva y su diseño, con autores como Benjamin Constant, Hans Kelsen y Roberto Gargarella, a fin de argumentar que esta crisis tiene su origen desde el siglo XVIII, pero ahora se ha acentuado por el cambio de las condiciones económicas, como la caída del creciente bienestar de los treinta a los ochenta del siglo pasado; sociales, como la creciente migración y nueva composición pluriétnica de las sociedades modernas, y la revolución de las comunicaciones con el Internet y las redes sociales. En seguida, se analizan los distintos tipos de democracia (representativa, directa, deliberativa y radical), a fin de proponer la fusión armónica de diversos componentes de la democracia representativa con otros de la democracia participativa) como una solución a la crisis política actual. Se incluye un análisis comparativo de otros países la-tinoamericanos que lo han intentado, como Venezuela, Ecuador y Bolivia, y se presentan los mecanismos de democracia directa vigentes en México tanto en la Constitución federal (incluida la reforma de diciembre del 2019) como en la Constitución de la Ciudad de México y de otras entidades federativas, como sustento a la tesis central del artículo. Se concluye contraargumentando sobre las dificultades de una ingeniería constitucional que fusionara los dos tipos de democracia.Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mèxico2020-11-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.juridicas.unam.mx/index.php/cuestiones-constitucionales/article/view/1518810.22201/iij.24484881e.2020.43.15188Cuestiones Constitucionales Revista Mexicana de Derecho Constitucional; Número 43, julio-diciembre 2020; 351-376Cuestiones Constitucionales.
