| Sumario: | This essay aims to analize the relationship that exists between a democratic political culture
and strong democratic institutions. In this sense, this paper focuses on the fact that there is a
correlation between those two variables, and that only by that, democratic consolidation can
be reached. This paper, then, contradicts the existent literature that affirms that either one of
the two variables is always predominant in comparison with the other, with regard to
democratic consolidation. This study, then, focuses on the Latin American region, making
special emphasis on the Chilean, Ecuadorean, Peruvian and Uruguayan cases. The first
hipothesys tested along this paper focuses on the fact that previous establishment of strong
democratic institutions such as and independent judiciary and stable party systems create a
democratic political culture. The second hypothesys tested is that a democratic political
culture that involves tolerance, trust in democratic institutions and preference for democratic
values, derives in democratic consolidation. |
