Abstract
This issue of the International Journal of Public Opinion Research once again takes the reader on a trip around the world. Four continents are looked at, counting the two Americas separately, and data from 19 individual countries feature in the analyses, which pertain to several dozens more. We begin our trip in Latin America. Rodolfo Sarsfield and Fabián Echegaray present comparative research covering eight major countries on the continent. One always expects, in comparative studies, large tables that present results for all the countries covered, to enable researchers to look for differences between countries—some always surprising, some invariably stereotypical. Not so with this article: What the authors are after is the complexity of the relationship between people’s support for democratic regimes, their evaluation of democracy, and their experiences with it. The authors pool data from eight countries, coming from the 1995 Latinobarometro, to approach this subject. Not surprisingly, people’s support for democracy in Latin America appears to depend on how they perceive democracy is working.
