Resumen
Usando dados de nove países – Argentina, Brasil, Chile, República Tcheca, Polônia, Federação Russa, Finlândia, Alemanha e Estados Unidos – coletados pelo projeto World Values Survey, o artigo analisa a validade de quatro variáveis que potencialmente avaliam o nível de legitimidade do setor privado em relação ao setor público. Esta análise dá-se no contexto das discussões sobre o futuro das reformas pró- mercado, implementadas em diversos países nos últimos 20 anos. A investigação adotou uma estratégia em dois níveis: primeiramente, foram analisadas as freqüências agregadas por países e, em seguida, foram examinados os resultados de uma análise bivariada visando verificar a consistência interna das variáveis. O artigo conclui que as quatro variáveis consideradas não constituem uma dimensão capaz de avaliar a legitimidade do setor público versus a do setor privado.
Abstract
Using data collected in nine countries – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Czech Republic, Poland, Russian Federation, Finland, Germany and the USA – through the World Values Survey, the article analyses the validity of four variables with a supposed potential to evaluate the legitimacy level of the private sector vis-à-vis the public sector. This analysis in undertaken in the context of the discussions on the future of market reforms that were implemented in several countries in the past 20 years. The investigation adopted a two level strategy: first, the aggregated frequencies for the nine countries were analyzed, followed by a bivariate analysis aimed at verifying the internal consistency of the variables. The article concludes that the four variables under consideration do not compose a valid dimension capable of assessing the legitimacy of the public sector versus the private sector.
Key words: legitimacy, political culture, market reforms, public opinion .
