Abstract

La participación ciudadana está relacionada directamente con la confianza en las instituciones políticas y el apoyo de estas a las demandas populares mediante los canales democrá- ticos establecidos bajo la normatividad propia de un país. Tradicionalmente los estudios realizados en el país sobre participación, confianza en instituciones políticas y legitimidad de los sistemas de gobierno, se han enmarcado dentro de las categorías relacionadas a la cultura política, con sustento teórico en los trabajos de Gabriel Almond y Sidney Verba, descritos en su clásico estudio llamado The Civic Culture. El presente trabajo describe los estudios y metodologías utilizadas para la medición de la Cultura Política en Colombia, como instrumentos de articulación estadística sobre el tema en el país. De igual manera se hace una pesquisa comparativa con modelos de estudios en Latinoamérica, para finalmente proponer unos componentes de medición enfocados en los atributos de capacidades, oportunidades y necesidades democráticas. ***** Citizens’ participation is directly related to confidence in political institutions and the support of popular demands through democratic channels established under the regulations of a country. Traditionally, studies on participation in a country’s political environment, trust in political institutions and legitimacy of governmental systems have been framed within categories related to the political culture as noted in the work of Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba in their classic work The Civic Culture. This paper describes the studies and methodologies used for the measurement of Political Culture in Colombia, as instruments of joint statistics on the subject in this country. In the same way, the paper addresses a comparative inquiry of models in Latin America, and finally proposes some measurement components focused on the attributes of capabilities, opportunities and democratic needs.
