Rule of Law and Democracy: the centrality of the conflict

This article seeks to problematize the tense relationship between the rule of law and democracy. The development of the argument to be defended requires the necessary consideration of the presence of conflict as a central element of democratic regimes, despite the attempt to conceal it by the liberal tradition still today hegemonic in political thought. Establishing relations between state, law, capitalism and democracy, as well as pointing out the outstanding subject of the conflicts that flourish in contemporary society is the pretension of this academic text.
