Abstract

The objective of this essay is to establish the relationship between insecurity and sociopolitical dynamics. For this purpose, the presidential and parliamentary democratic systems from which the system of election, concentration of power and exercise of responsibilities as the foundations of contemporary society are reviewed are reviewed. The risk society is described as the socio-political context that determines citizen participation and the exercise of political power. The analysis will allow to open the discussion on the importance of the democratic regime in reference to decision-making for the governance of uncertainty, risk and insecurity.
