Abstract
This paper analyzes governance and citizen participation in Latin America, from an experiential, literary, theoretical, and descriptive perspective, with a documentary analysis of the last 20 years. Democratic systems and their participation in different social scenarios are analyzed, and current trends and their impact on social behavior are studied, based on various theoretical sources. The main results show that the theories associated with governance and the practice of citizen participation are essential for the strengthening of democracy in Latin American countries, but also reflect the difficulty of leadership in young countries with complex societies and with a diversity of situations and inequalities. Finally, it is possible to conclude that theoretical proposals on democratic regimes and the practice of governance are fundamental for strengthening state policies in Latin American countries.
