| Abstract | |
This study investigates an important aspect of Brazilian citizen's political behavior: the popular support for democracy in the recent period. Specifically, it investigates if the governmental performance, that is, the set of economic and political evaluations, and the evaluation of public services, are relevant to the support to democracy in the country. Unlike studies of specialized literature, this present research incorporates the experience and the evaluation of public services - at individual level - as a constitutive aspect of governmental performance and it puts special attention to these effects on the analyses. The empirical basis is the national survey "The citizens' distrust on democratic institutions", conducted in June, 2006 and financed by the Sao Paulo Foundation for Scientific Research (FAPESP) (AU) | |
