【 摘 要 】

Uruguay has a long tradition of democracy that is associated to the Welfare State built at the beginning of the XX Century. In the sixties started a period of crisis and decadence, which had its worst moment during the period of the dictatorship (1973-1984). Uruguay lives since then with the nostalgia of what «has been», the impossible utopia of the past.
