Resumen

Este artículo analiza críticamente el papel de las tecnologías digitales en contextos de crisis democrática. Mediante una revisión multidisciplinaria y estudios de caso en América Latina, Europa del Este y Asia, examina cómo las plataformas digitales reconfiguran la ciudadanía, la esfera pública y la participación política. Señala oportunidades de agencia cívica, pero también riesgos como polarización, populismo digital, desinformación y captura algorítmica. Se discuten respuestas estatales y propuestas de gobernanza mediática, subrayando la urgencia de una ciudadanía crítica y alfabetizada digitalmente. La conclusión propone democratizar el diseño, regulación y uso de la tecnología como eje clave para fortalecer las democracias actuales.
