Support for Polyarchy in the Americas

Abstract: This study measures support for the basic rights, liberties, and practices associated with polyarchy in 12 Latin American democracies. Specifically, it identifies five profiles of support for polyarchy’s core values and norms—public contestation, inclusive participation, limits on executive authority, and institutional checks and balances. Although citizens who fit the polyarch profile accept all of polyarchy’s principles, those who fit one of the four mixed support profiles ( power constrainer, power checker,… Show more

“…Additionally, four control variables at the individual level have been inserted into the multivariate model as controls: gender, age, years of education and income. Those demographic variables have been included in different studies dealing with satisfaction and support for democracy (Anderson and Guillory 1997;Armingeon and Guthmann 2013;Booth and Sligson 2009;Carlin and Singer 2011;Evans and Whitefield 1995). Although it can be expected at the individual level that older, more highly educated and wealthier citizens tend to have a better predisposition towards democracy, the literature has not shown consistent evidence that they affect democratic values or satisfaction with the functioning of the system (Anderson and Guillory 1997;Carlin and Singer 2011).…”

“…Para isso, seguimos as recomendações de Booth e Seligson (2009) e combinamos questões relativas a princípios democráticos com outras que testam a consistência da opção pela democracia em alguns contextos críticos. Com isso, nossa intenção foi evitar ambiguidades envolvidas no uso da palavra "democracia" e, ao mesmo tempo, gerar uma medida que incorpore ambiguidades e nuances na adesão (Carlin;Singer, 2011;Casalecchi, 2016;Fuks et al, 2016;Schedler;Sarsfield, 2007).…”

“…Ao investigar a tolerância política, estamos no campo de estudos sobre cultura política democrática, embora tratando de uma dimensão pouco estudada pela literatura brasileira. Seguimos, aqui, os passos de uma crescente literatura que entende que o apoio à democracia deve ser examinado como um fenômeno que envolve múltiplas dimensões (Booth;Seligson, 2009;Carlin;Singer, 2011;Casalecchi, 2016;Fuks et al, 2016;Schedler;Sarsfield, 2007) e que, portanto, o "cidadão democrático" não é aquele que apenas afirma preferir a democracia como forma de governo, mas que também adere a um conjunto de valores e crenças democráticos, do qual a tolerância é parte importante.…”

“…Neste paper, propomos o diálogo entre a tipologia dos perfis de eleitores de Dalton (2013) e o modelo multidimensional de adesão à democracia de Fuks et al (2016), de modo que se faz pertinente destacar o argumento central da investigação daqueles autores e a composição de suas medidas de apoio ao regime. Sobre o primeiro aspecto, os autores buscaram superar pesquisas que buscam mensurar a legitimidade democrática por meio de questões diretamente relacionadas à preferência por tal regime, por meio da utilização de variáveis que possibilitem verificar em que medida os cidadãos estão de acordo com princípios e valores democráticos (Booth;Seligson, 2006;2009;Carlin;Singer, 2011).…”
