HERNANDEZ DE GANTE, Alicia. The Brown Areas in O'Donnell's Rationale. Reflections on the Mexican Case. Rev. IUS [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.42, pp.109-130. ISSN 1870-2147.
This article begins with what the State means in contemporary democracies according to O'Donnell's theory. Of the four dimensions attributed to it (effectiveness in the bureaucracy, source of collective identity, filter in questions of globalization), we are interested in one that analyzes the effectiveness of its legal system. The practices of legality of the State that are constituted in a social predictability order with that allows multiple social relations. It is affirmed that the unity of the State in its constitutive dimension is its Judicial-Legal System. However, the State shows other faces. Reflecting on Mexico, there is little or no presence of the State in vast areas of the country. Part of the consequences are the conformation of brown areas, characterized by the loss of functional territorial spaces, and the legitimate authorization of the monopoly of state violence, creating gaps in the legality.
