ABSTRACT
The systematic application of a sociology of emergences has clearly demonstrated that the Eurocentric conception of democracy, despite being dominant, is not the only one in force in the world. Alongside the dominant conception, in conflict or in conjunction with it, there are other conceptions and democratic practices that are instituting dignity and equality. However, what has also been established is that capitalism can coexist with all kinds of political systems, with demodiversity also possessing the potential of being organic to capitalism. The production of counter-hegemonic democratic theories and practices is only possible by applying an abyssal cartography to modern democracy that contradicts the monoculture associated with capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy. It is through an ecology of democratic practices, based on the concrete experiences of the oppressed of the global South. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
