“…For institutionalists, institutional design, established ways of functioning, and compliance rules are crucial aspects that significantly affect the actions and reactions of both public agents and citizens subordinated to public organizations (Kumlin, 2004;Moisés, 2010). The option for one analytical perspective or another answers both to theoretical preferences and to the analyst's purposes.…”

“…In Brazil, the debate on social and institutional trust, as well as their relationship with the aforementioned perspectives has received relevant contributions over the last two decades, including those compiled in Moisés (2010) or Moisés & Meneguello (2013). These studies have usually emphasized the relationship between the legitimacy of democracy and the performance of political institutions (see Moisés, 2013, chapters 1 and 3; and 2010, chapters 2 and 3); and the mechanisms behind the low levels of trust in core institutions, such as the police (Lopes, 2013), that hinder the consolidation of the rule of law.…”

How does interpersonal trust relate to trust in public institutions, people’s willingness to contribute to redistributive actions, and the strong bonds of social cohesion in society? This article presents how Brazilians’ trust in others and in various state institutions has varied since the 1990s and how the interaction between interpersonal and institutional trust affects social cohesion. Also, we examine how widespread social perceptions of institutional corruption and different levels of inequality affect the levels of interpersonal social. Using the analytical concept of social responsibility, we argue strategies centered on the design and performance of public institutions contribute to breaking the vicious circle of lack of trust and its social costs. We used descriptive statistics and regression analysis based on data extracted from the Latinobarómetro World Values Survey as well as interview data with different social classes in Brazil.

“…Diffuse support and its subcomponents would only be indirectly affected, given their more abstract nature and the fact that they constitute a "reservoir" built up and socialized over many years which is slowly eroded. However, the reality of young democracies, such as the Brazilian one, suggests that measures of legitimacy based on citizens' adherence to the values and ideals of the democratic regime may not be the best to appraise its stability or consolidation, since their populations do not have the prolonged experience with this political system that would be necessary for the internalization of such values (Moisés, 2010;Ribeiro, 2007).…”

Introduction: While substantial shifts in political and social values typically evolve over generational timescales, exceptional disruptive events can occasionally prompt swift changes in societal attitudes. This article investigates the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic has influenced the level of democratic support among Brazilian citizens. Materials and methods: Our research employed a three-wave online longitudinal panel study (N = 1,301) to assess the attitudes of Brazilian citizens towards democracy at three distinct intervals throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Our research tool gauged various dimensions of democratic attitudes and inquired about the respondents' experiences with Covid-19 as well as of their close social circles. Utilizing a combination of propensity score matching and a difference-in-differences design, we estimated the causal effect of the Covid-19 experience on both “diffuse” and “specific” support for democracy. Findings: Our analysis revealed that exposure to the virus had limited overall impact on our measures of democratic support. However, we did identify some evidence indicating that severe exposure to Covid-19 had a negative effect on one dimension of democratic support, specifically, diffuse support. Discussion: Our findings underscore the resilience of deeply ingrained ideological beliefs and values. Despite being one of the most disruptive global events in recent history, the Covid-19 pandemic displayed only a modest influence on the foundations of democratic culture. While this suggests that concerns about the pandemic's impact on democratic attitudes may have been overstated, it remains crucial for social and political leaders to remain mindful of actively reinforcing and upholding democratic governance during the post-pandemic recovery phase.

“…A cultura política representa os valores, o conjunto de atitudes e as crenças dos indivíduos -como eles olham e reconhecem o outro, os eventos sociais e as instituições (Porter, 2002;Hall;Taylor, 2003;Borba, 2005;Inglehart;Welzel, 2009;Fukuyama, 2010;Moisés, 2010).…”
