The politics of liberation

Abstract

Considering the politics of liberation as a solution from Latin American alterity to the problems caused by the bad public administrations of nation states like Colombia, it is essential to know how a proposal focusing on ethics works to develop a new type of government, more democratic, more participative, and primarily more inclusive. It is possible to break the vicious circle created by colonial administrations to exploit the Latin American people and consider a new stage of development from the proper management of resources for prosperity.

It is the development of an own ethical-political project, which ignores foreign solutions, which have proven to be disastrous for social progress of these countries, being a model for accumulation of wealth of a few, who are articulated to the global economic system, meeting international rather than national interests. Thus, the article develops a theory of liberation into a nation state with its own political model, as expressed in the works of Enrique Dussel, and focuses on a philosophy that includes the opressed, the victim, everyone who for one reason or another have been excluded from the system, violating some of their fundamental rights such as life, dignity, freedom and equality. In conclusion, this study examines the prospects of a new political model, alternative to the political models imposed by the global system.
