Resumen
A lo largo de la historia, la comunicación política se presenta como un elemento central en la creación y mantenimiento del liderazgo, ya que permite a los actores públicos expresar un discurso convincente que se vincula de forma consistente con las percepciones y deseos sociales. Así, el posicionamiento de un líder está íntimamente relacionado con la forma en que presenta sus propuestas, les otorga significado y logra movilizar la opinión pública a su favor. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la transformación de la comunicación y el marketing político a través de tres momentos históricos, representados por Thatcher, Berlusconi y Trump, poniendo énfasis en los modos en que cada uno usó recursos mediáticos y discursivos adaptados a su entorno sociopolítico particular. En lo metodológico se empleó el análisis crítico del discurso político y la comparación histórica. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que, el líder político se manifiesta, en su esencia, como un intérprete capaz de descifrar los paquetes cognitivos dispersos en la sociedad -temores, aspiraciones, desilusiones, anhelos- y conferirles coherencia narrativa en una agenda política e ideológica que active a las masas, para lograr metas claras.
