Guillermo O'Donnell, Democracy, Horizontal voice, Vertical voice, Collective labor rightsAbstract
Guillermo O'Donnell, in dialogue with the work of Hirschman, pointed out that democracies, in their goal to consolidate and improve their quality, required citizens with a voice. However, it did not refer only to a "vertical voice" in which citizens raise demands on their rulers, but also a "horizontal voice" that would allow organization and collective action. From this, this article researches labor legislation as an institutional order that enables or restricts access to horizontal voice by large majorities of society (workers). Through a comparative design, two cases from Latin America (Argentina and Mexico) are studied, which allow to understand the links between collective labor rights, horizontal voice and democracy.
