description Ever  since  the  start  of  the  twenty-first  century,  Latin  American  feminisms  have  experienced  a  change  of  context, which has opened up possibilities for feminist actions and alternative types of relationships with the state, through new mobilization patterns. This article deals with some of the theoretical discussions surrounding the tensions between feminist struggles and the state in the Latin American region, which presents a controversial political context that strives to overcome a neoliberal economic model. Based on the concept of democratic governance, this article suggests the emergence of a fourth wave of Latin American feminism, one which attempts to understand this new historical moment while running parallel to the democratization processes of the global South. Finally, this article reflects on the emergence of the term “state feminism” and its possible consequences.

Los feminismos latinoamericanos viven desde el siglo XXI un contexto propio, el cual les ha permitido experimentar, a partir de nuevos patrones de movilización, posibilidades de acciones feministas y formas alternativas de relación con las instituciones gubernamentales. En este artículo presentamos parte de la discusión teórica respecto de las tensiones establecidas en la región entre las luchas feministas y el Estado, en un contexto polémico que busca la superación del modelo neoliberal. A partir de la noción de gobernabilidad democrática, se elabora la propuesta de la cuarta ola del feminismo latinoamericano, que aspira entender este nuevo momento, paralelo a los procesos de democratización en el sur del globo. Finalmente, se presentan reflexiones sobre la aparición del concepto de feminismo estatal y sus posibles consecuencias.
