En este artículo introducimos las medidas de la gobernanza democrática, para así analizar cómo los países latinoamericanos se han desenvuelto desde los inicios de los años 90. El resto del libro Democratic Governance in Latin America, discute las razones para el éxito y fracaso en la gobernanza democrática, pero primero es necesario proveer un mapa descriptivo de los países que han tenido mayor o menor éxito en las diferentes dimensiones de la gobernanza democrática. Nuestra evaluación está enfocada en la medida en que las democracias mejoran el bienestar ciudadano y protegen los derechos de los mismos. Así, proveemos un mapeo empírico de la manera cómo los países latinoamericanos se han desempeñado en varios temas de gobernanza, los cuales en conjunto permiten establecer una perspectiva a mediano plazo. Adicionalmente, queremos promover la discusión sobre la forma cómo debería conceptualizarse y medir la gobernanza democrática. Las medidas existentes hacen referencia a la gobernanza en general (e.g., Kaufmann, Kraay, and mastruzzi 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) en lugar de basarse en la gobernanza democrática en particular y en la calidad de la democracia basada en los ideales de procedimiento (diamond y morlino 2005; Levine y molina 2006). Nuestra iniciativa es diferente y creemos que responde al esfuerzo de crear un acercamiento sistemático para la medición. 2011-07 2018-11-28T16:52:21Z 2018-11-28T16:52:21Z article Scott Mainwaring, Timothy R.
