Resumo: | One of the main explanations of the phenomenon of political distrust within current democracies asserts that it has resulted from a process of cultural change that has been leading in the direction of critical citizenship, as this conjugates with an attitude of challenge that takes a clear position in favor of democracy. Although this argument seems to be consistent in regard to solidly established democratic regimes, its critics have pointed out that such a thesis cannot be extended to regimes that have only recently been put in place. In countries of the latter type, the phenomenon would be better explained by citizens’ disenchantment with the concrete ways in which the political system functions, insofar as it does not satisfy the expectations generated throughout the transition process. In this paper we have dealt with this controversy, attempting to test hypotheses for the Brazilian context through research into the individual determinants of political distrust. Using data provided by the World Values Survey, we have proposed an analytical model that confronts different hypotheses on the phenomenon with one another and come to the conclusion that the disenchantment thesis is more empirically consistent for the Brazilian case. Keywords: political trust, democracy, disenchantment, cultural change. |

Embora consistente no cenário dos regimes solidamente estabelecidos, críticos têm apontado que essa tese não poderia ser estendida às jovens democracias. Nesses países o fenômeno seria explicado pela desilusão dos cidadãos com o funcionamento concreto do sistema político, que não estaria satisfazendo as expectativas geradas ao longo do processo de transição. Nesse trabalho tratamos dessa polêmica ao testar essas hipóteses no contexto brasileiro, investigando os determinantes individuais da desconfiança política. Utilizando dados produzidos pelo projeto World Values Survey, propomos um modelo de análise que confronta simultaneamente diferentes hipóteses para o fenômeno e concluímos que a tese da desilusão tem maior consistência empírica para o caso nacional.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2009-10-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/2175-7984.2009v8n15p27110.5007/2175-7984.2009v8n15p271Política & Sociedade; Vol. 8 No. 15 (2009); 271-298Política & Sociedade; Vol. 8 Núm. 15 (2009); 271-298Política & Sociedade; v. 8 n. 15 (2009); 271-2982175-79841677-4140reponame:Política & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/2175-7984.2009v8n15p271/11046Copyright (c) 2009 Política & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro, Ednaldo Aparecido2022-11-21T14:13:38Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/11803Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/oai||ernesto.seidl@ufsc.br|| ps@cfh.ufsc.br2175-79841677-4140opendoar:2022-11-21T14:13:38Política & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |

One of the main explanations of the phenomenon of political distrust within current democracies asserts that it has resulted from a process of cultural change that has been leading in the direction of critical citizenship, as this conjugates with an attitude of challenge that takes a clear position in favor of democracy. Although this argument seems to be consistent in regard to solidly established democratic regimes, its critics have pointed out that such a thesis cannot be extended to regimes that have only recently been put in place. In countries of the latter type, the phenomenon would be better explained by citizens’ disenchantment with the concrete ways in which the political system functions, insofar as it does not satisfy the expectations generated throughout the transition process. In this paper we have dealt with this controversy, attempting to test hypotheses for the Brazilian context through research into the individual determinants of political distrust.
