The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationships between formal, political, economic and social agreements that derive from the institutional design derived from constitutional law that were the pattern of governability in modern pre-covid19 society, and decisions imposed by governments after the declaration of a pandemic by the WHO in March 2020. The protection of the life project, governability as a government relationship with the administration and the application of biopower, are examined in light of the currents that see it with the potential to deepen authoritarianism and those who observe the possibility of reconciling biopower with democracy without implying that there is an operation in favor of undermining it. It is concluded that the positive or pernicious relationship between these elements for the construction of the postpandemic society will depend on the strength of the democratic institutionality, however, a fairly accepted attention, examines this relationship from the perspective of danger to freedom society.

This paper discusses the relationship between the characteristics assumed by the public administration and changes in the democratic model from 1958 until the second millennium in Venezuela. Methodologically, four stages are distinguished from the characteristics assumed by democracy. 1. Democracy of the big parties and the model of import substitution, political representation and administrative centralization (1961); 2. Formally participatory and administratively decentralized democracy 1990), 3; people's and populist democracy with military base and administrative recentralization (1999); 4). Competitive authoritarianism. It is concluded that there is a significantly political relationship between the model of democracy and the models of public administration assumed in the model of the Venezuelan democratic regime, there are authoritarian changes from the periphery to the center as the institutional model went into crisis until its political breakin in 2018.
