ALBUJAS DORTA, Miguel. The neototalitarianism in the latin american politic scene: new hegemonic technologies of control, terrorism and conspiracy. EPISTEME [online]. 2013, vol.33, n.2, pp.89-110. ISSN 0798-4324.

The overall structure produced by the impact of the New World Economic Order during the last twenty years of the twentieth century, showed substantive changes in the geopolitical world design. This new design had enormous influence in the Latin American territory since it promoted the emergence of complex hege­monic political models that ultimately ended articulated together, coming to form a pool of schemes and projects linked to perverse political forms that led to new expressions of hegemonic control of power in the management of the state. These hegemonic control regimes, which we have called “neototalitarianism”, even copied the traditional totalitarian models, came to differ from them in some substantive issues that we raised in this paper. A key feature of these regimes is that “neototalita­rianism” although defends democracy as a form of government, its political practice negates the values of democracy, because what prevails is a systematic violation of human rights through associated practices of terrorism State, which are concealed and / or misrepresented by a vast propaganda apparatus. Also, these regimes appa­rent democratic in nature actually turned their states into large transnational criminal corporations that helped to create repressive mechanisms and unconventional con­trol over those social sectors opposed to the hegemonic model. In this context, this paper shows some of its characteristics, pointing out various differences between the classical totalitarianism and these emerged regimes in Latin America in the con­text of globalization.
