description This article develops an analysis on the stregthening process in the administrative branch of government in Colombia during the administration of President Álvaro Uribe Vélez. This analysis is done within the context of similar processes evolving recently in the Andean Region. This context shows a sort of disenchantment of the democratic system among wide sectors of society, represented in ways of politically aiming at patterns which seem to reproduce old governing schemas like neopopulism, the coming back of old authoritarian patterns and the leadership of outsiders. Considering this background, this article intends to establish if the governing program of the present president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe actually adjusts to the neopopulist line, analyzing at the same time the limitations of the use of the term neopopulism in explaining actual political Colombian experience.

This analysis is done within the context of similar processes evolving recently in the Andean Region. This context shows a sort of disenchantment of the democratic system among wide sectors of society, represented in ways of politically aiming at patterns which seem to reproduce old governing schemas like neopopulism, the coming back of old authoritarian patterns and the leadership of outsiders. Considering this background, this article intends to establish if the governing program of the present president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe actually adjusts to the neopopulist line, analyzing at the same time the limitations of the use of the term neopopulism in explaining actual political Colombian experience. Este artículo examina el fortalecimiento del poder ejecutivo en Colombia durante el gobierno de Álvaro Uribe Vélez y en el contexto político actual de la región andina. Tal contexto advierte un cierto desencantamiento frente al sistema democrático en amplios sectores sociales, expresado en una apuesta política hacia fórmulas que parecen reproducir viejos esquemas en las formas de gobernar, tales como el neopopulismo, el retorno de patrones autoritarios y el liderazgo de algunos outsiders. En este sentido, se pretende indagar si el programa de gobierno del actual presidente de Colombia corresponde a un proyecto de corte neopopulista y se analizan las limitaciones del uso de la categoría neopopulismo en la explicación de la actual experiencia política colombiana.
