Resumen
STUMPF GONZALEZ, Rodrigo. Quality of democracy, presidential elections and support for democracy in Latin America. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2014, n.28, pp.13-28. ISSN 1853-984X.
In recent years the debate about democracy has focused in evaluating its quality. One of the issues is that of criteria of evaluation, being needed, according some authors, to take in account cultural variables. This paper proposes, based in political culture theory, to include support and satisfaction with democracy as variables to evaluate democracy, using data from Latinobarometer from 1996 to 2009 to find how presidential elections in Latin America could or not be an independent variable that impacts support for regimes and governments, having influence on democratic stability and being a factor for difference in its quality.
