Resumo
Ao mesmo tempo em que apóiam o regime democrático per se, os brasileiros revelam uma ampla e contínua desconfiança em suas instituições. O autor apresenta os fundamentos da convivência entre esses dois fenômenos e em seguida, partindo do tratamento dado pela literatura ao conceito de confiança política e dos fatores a ela associados (por exemplo, legitimidade política e desempenho econômico dos governos), propõe que a confiança nas instituições radica-se na avaliação que os cidadãos, partindo de sua experiência, fazem do modo como aquelas desempenham a missão para a qual foram criadas.
Abstract
Several studies show that brazilians support the democratic regime per se, but, at the same time, reveal a widespread and persistent mistrust of democratic institutions. The author begins presenting the foundations of the contradictory coexistence of both phenomena and after that he reviews the treatment given by literature on political trust and the factors related to it (as political legitimacy and economic performance of governments), pointing limits. He also proposes that trust in institutions is rooted on the evaluation citizens make, based on their experience, about the way institutions perform the mission for which they were created.
