Abstract

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal identificar as possíveis condições societais que favorecem a democracia na América Latina, articulando o conceito de democracia com o conceito de capital social na tradição de Putnam. Nossa hipótese de trabalho é que há uma associação significativa entre capital social e democracia e de que a existência de estoques de capital social, em uma determinada sociedade, influencia positivamente a crença no regime democrático e em suas instituições. A hipótese é testada utilizando os dados de três capitais sul americanas: Porto Alegre (Brasil), Montevidéu (Uruguai) e Santiago (Chile), a partir de três surveys aplicados nesses países.The main purpose of this article is to identify societal conditions that may work to favor democracy in Latin América, articulating this concept of democracy with the concept of social capital, as outlined by Putnam (2000). Our working hypothesis posits a significant association between social capital and democracy. We also believe that the existence of stocks of social capital, within a particular society, is a positive influence on belief in democratic regimes and their institutions. Our hypothesis uses data from three South American capitals: Porto Alegre (Brazil), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Santiago de Chile (Chile), gathered in three research projects that were applied in these countries.Cet article a pour objectif l’identification de possibles conditions sociétales favorisant la démocratie en Amérique latine, et articule ainsi le concept de démocratie et le concept de capital social dans la tradition de Putnam (2000). Notre hypothèse est celle de l’existance d’une association importante entre capital social et démocratie. Nous croyons aussi que l’existance de stocks de capital social, dans une société, influe positivement la croyance en un régime démocratique et ses institutions. L’hypothèse utilise les données de trois capitales sud-américaines : Porto Alegre (Brésil), Montévidéo (Uruguay) et Santiago (Chili), à partir de trois recherches appliquées dans ces pays.
