Transitions to Democracy: Toward a Dynamic Model

Rustow, Dankwart A.·1970·Comparative Politics

Abstract

resumen: ¿Por qué las democracias sobreviven o se quiebran?En este trabajo retomamos esta clásica pregunta haciendo foco en América Latina entre 1945 y 2005.Nuestro argumento difiere de los resultados de los estudios cuantitativos y de buena parte de los análisis cualitativos sobre supervivencia y quiebra de los regímenes democráticos.Sostenemos que las variables estructurales como el grado de desarrollo y de desigualdad no han tenido mayor impacto en la supervivencia de la democracia en América Latina.De la misma manera, el desempeño de la economía tampoco ha tenido una incidencia importante en la supervivencia de los regímenes competitivos, contrariamente a lo que afirma una parte de la literatura sobre el tema.En cambio, nos centramos en el entorno político regional y en las preferencias normativas de los actores sobre la democracia y la dictadura, y en su moderación o radicalismo político.Se sostiene que: 1) un mayor nivel de desarrollo económico no aumentó la probabilidad de supervivencia democrática en América Latina durante el período analizado; 2) si los actores tienen una preferencia normativa a favor de la democracia, es más probable que sobreviva; y 3) la moderación política contribuye a la supervivencia de la democracia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
