Abstract

Since the middle of the last century, Guillermo O'Donnell was consolidated as one of the first political scientists to systematically identify the characteristics of the authoritarian Latin American States, what he called the bureaucratic-authoritarian State. With this, he contributed to the beginning of the demystification of authoritarian states in Latin America. These contributions by O'Donnell were gradually assimilated by the literature on the democratic development of Latin America. At the same time, new conceptualizations and lines of research were created. The objective of this article is to give an account of the trajectory of O'Donnell's political work on Latin America to link it with the latest trends in the field and highlight how it could serve as a guide for new governance challenges in the region.
