“…First, in defining democracy, we safeguarded against a couple of potential misunderstandings. We wondered whether the term "pluralism" would be misinterpreted as a reference to diversity-an ideal that appeals particularly to liberals (Galston & Galston, 1991)-and whether the phrase "civil liberties" might conjure thoughts of fights for civil rights (i.e., racial equality and gay rights)-causes viewed more favorably by liberals than conservatives (AP NORC, 2015;Pew Research Center, 2019b; see also Sidanius et al, 1996). We therefore replaced the term "pluralism" with a phrase capturing its intended meaning: "presence of more than one political party," and the term "civil liberties" with a related but slightly different term: "individual rights and freedoms.…”

Despite widespread support for the principles of democracy, democratic norms have been eroding globally for over a decade. We ask whether and how political ideology factors into people's reactions to democratic decline. We offer hypotheses derived from two theoretical lenses, one considering ideologically-relevant dispositions, and another considering ideologically-relevant situations. Pre-registered laboratory experiments combined with analyses of World Values Survey data indicate that there is a dispositional trend: Overall, liberals are more distressed than conservatives by low democracy. At the same time, situational factors also matter: This pattern emerges most strongly when the ruling party is conservative, and disappears (though it does not flip into its mirror image) when the ruling party is liberal. Our results contribute to ongoing debates over ideological symmetry and asymmetry; they also suggest that, if democracy is worth protecting, not everyone, everywhere will feel the urgency.

“…At a philosophical level, the notion of "autonomy" can at best be understood from the Lockean conception of excellence as rational liberty of self-direction. Autonomy refers to the capacity to form, pursue, and revise life plans in the light of our personal commitments and circumstances (Enslin, 1993;Galston, 1991). Enslin (1993, p. 6) argues that autonomy means "the individual's capacity for self-direction, for engaging in thought and activity which is her own, in the sense of not being determined by causes beyond her control".…”

“…Además, Galston (1992), alude a la diversidad de condiciones institucionales, personales y culturales en una sociedad liberal; Zambrano (2018, p. 80), a la práctica de competencias ciudadanas en estudiantes universitarios, donde el contexto condiciona aspectos como la reflexión, el pensamiento crítico y el desarrollo de habilidades sociales; y, Cabanes et al (2018, p. 70), al rol que implica procesos de planeación en la educación ciudadana, que involucran la construcción efectiva del sujeto, el bienestar y la pluralidad del entorno comunitario.…”

Las competencias ciudadanas influyen en el servicio de educación superior de calidad a largo plazo en la sede matriz de la Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí, en el cantón Manta, Ecuador. El objetivo de la investigación fue contrastar los procesos de formación en competencias ciudadanas que influirán en el logro de una educación de calidad para 2050. Se empleó el enfoque cuantitativo y la investigación descriptiva, en conjunto con la revisión bibliográfica y el análisis estadístico. Se utilizó el método inductivo a través de la aplicación de la técnica de la encuesta y mediante formulario virtual en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Derecho y Bienestar. Los resultados demuestran que se presentan mayores dificultades en los ámbitos de convivencia y relaciones pacíficas y de pluralidad, identidad y valoración de las diferencias. Se bosquejó una propuesta, de formación en competencias ciudadanas para una educación de calidad hasta 2050, basada en los ejes de adaptabilidad, microcredenciales, autoaprendizaje, vinculación comunitaria y capacitación docente. Finalmente, se concluyó que el principal desafío institucional será promover la tolerancia en la comunidad universitaria y garantizar una educación inclusiva y equitativa de calidad.
