Abstract
According to the existing literature, Uruguay is considered as one of the countries with the largest democratic tradition in Latin America, with several papers and books discussing its development and stability. From sociological essays of the mid-twentieth century up to the most recent studies in the field of political science, the dominant interpretations point to the longevity of the party system and the premature establishment of the “polyarchy” democracy. Based on the perspective of Uruguayan researchers, this paper aims to perform a literature review on democracy in Uruguay. Despite methodological and theoretical advances in political science, interpretations regarding the theme have been associated to the earliest hypothesis. Therefore, a wider use and deepening of cultural hypotheses as sources of democratic stability would enrich the debate around democratic stability in Uruguay.
