Sin embargo, ha puesto poca atención al apoyo popular con el que cuentan tales liderazgos y sus acciones. Las investigaciones de opinión pública en América Latina han dedicado varias preguntas para medir el apoyo a la democracia, y también ofrecen algunas métricas del apoyo al autoritarismo. En este artículo analizamos datos del estudio Latinobarómetro, que cuenta con series de tiempo relativas a la disposición de apoyar un régimen autoritario bajo ciertas circunstancias, o a un gobierno militar, así como el posible apoyo a medidas autoritarias, de control político, o de restricción de derechos y libertades ciudadanas. Nuestro objetivo es analizar el apoyo popular al autoritarismo y sus implicaciones para la vida política en la región. La más reciente versión del estudio (Latinobarómetro 2023) incluyó, junto con las variables típicas ya muy conocidas sobre el tema, un conjunto de mediciones nuevas que arrojan luz acerca del atractivo de los discursos y las medidas autoritarias, lo cual esperamos que abone al entendimiento de la movilización de predisposiciones políticas latentes entre los electorados de la región. Los temas que se abordan van desde la discusión conceptual acerca de qué es y cómo medir el autoritarismo, qué tanto se sobre o subestiman las predisposiciones autoritarias a través de las encuestas, y qué añaden estos temas a la literatura sobre la calidad y funcionamiento de la democracia, así como a la comprensión del impacto de los discursos populistas-autoritarios en la región.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The growing literature on democratic backsliding has focused, to a large extent, on the actions taken by democratically elected leaders that affect said backsliding. However, it has paid little attention to the popular support of such leaderships and their actions. Public opinion research in Latin America has devoted several questions to measuring support for democracy and also offers some metrics of support for authoritarianism. In this article, we analyze data from the Latinobarómetro study, which has several time series related to the willingness to support an authoritarian regime under certain circumstances, or a military government, as well as possible support for authoritarian measures, political control, or restriction of citizen rights and freedoms. Our objective is to analyze popular support for authoritarianism and its implications for political life in the region. The most recent version of the study (Latinobarómetro 2023) included, along with the typical variables already well known on the subject, a set of new measurements that shed light on the attractiveness of authoritarian discourses and measures, which we hope will contribute to the understanding of the mobilization of latent political predispositions among the electorates of the region. The topics addressed range from the conceptual discussion about what authoritarianism is and how to measure it, how much authoritarian predispositions are over or underestimated through surveys, and what these topics add to the literature on the quality and functioning of democracy, as well as to the understanding of the impact of populist-authoritarian discourses in the region.]]></p></abstract>
