Los maoístas de Asia del Sur: democracia, derecho público y movimientos revolucionarios entre el ejercicio legítimo de la fuerza, las paradojas institucionales y la violencia

The essay, starting from the J-F. Lyotard's logic of postmodernity and paradox, advocates for the ability of non-western democratic experiences to ensure institutional order in revolutionary contexts. From a diachronic comparison of Naxalite revolutionary movements in India and Maoists in Nepal, the article states that debates about political and revolutionary violence in a democracy is not a logical contradiction, but a case of "Institutional Tragic Optimism".
