Resumen
Historically the Colombian party system has been the target of strong criticism, related to its failures; which affects the idea of the disappearance of the parties, as democratic institutions. As opposed to this scenario, there is the idea that defends the existence of these organizations, as underpinnings of democracy, to be the representatives of the interests of the citizens.
As a result of these two perspectives, the author raises the premise of re dignify political parties delimiting the object of the study to the Colombian Liberal Party, to which part of an integral analysis that identifies the origin context of its ideological platform, its historical development, the fulfilment of its functions and its challenges, with the objective of establishing weaknesses and visualize opportunities for modernization, rescuing the role of this fundamental actor of democracy and promoter of great social changes.
