Abstract

This working paper shows how Colombian people defined Democracy as a way of Government during the first decade of the current century, following the types proposed by Michael Coppedge. To achieve this purpose, data from Latinobarometer available in its web site were selected. First, the following pages expose the reviewed different types of Democracy presented by Coppedge, to identify its different meanings as self-government. Second, the answers given by Latinobarometer respondents were selected, according to the types and criteria mentioned in the first part. Then, these data were analyzed to recognize the factors that have more influence in the way Colombians constructed its Democracy notions. Results were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and tools given by basic descriptive stats. Finally provisory conclusions are described taking into account data analyzed, the pertinence of the conceptual framework, and possible perspectives of analysis in the future.
