El presente ensayo tiene como objetivo principal analizar la relación causal existente entre la cultura política y las instituciones, con referencia a la consolidación democrática. En este caso y contrario a lo que se propone en la literatura disponible, la cual otorga valores predominantes a cada uno de los elementos mencionados, se muestra una relación de dependencia entre ambas variables, la cual tiene como consecuencia la consolidación democrática. El estudio realizado se centra en la región de América Latina y se pone especial énfasis en los siguientes países: Chile, Ecuador, Perú y Uruguay, La primera hipótesis analizada, es entonces: que el establecimiento de instituciones democraticas fuertes como por ejemplo partidos politicos estables y un sistema judicial independiente, crea una cultura politica democratica. La segunda hipotesis propuesta en este ensayo es que la existencia previa de una cultura política democrática conlleva a la consolidación del sistema democrático. 2013-08-08T19:38:43Z 2013-08-08T19:38:43Z 2013 bachelorThesis Tesis (Licenciada en Relaciones Internacionales y Ciencia Política), Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Colegio de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades; Quito, Ecuador, 2013 http://repositorio.usfq.edu.ec/handle/23000/2279 esp openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ec/ 56 h. application/pdf Quito, 2013
