    A partir de un análisis longitudinal transversal debatimos la relación entre apoyo al régimen y niveles futuros de democracia en América Latina. Los resultados muestran que los niveles de democracia poliárquica y liberal afectan negativamente el respaldo ciudadano al régimen, no a la inversa como proponen estudios anteriores. Esto podría explicarse por el desarrollo de una actitud crítica y exigente en la población que vive en países con mayores niveles de democracia.

    Based on a longitudinal cross-sectional analysis we discuss the relation between regime support and future levels of democracy in Latin America. Our results show that levels of polyarchic and liberal democracy negatively affect citizen support for the regime, not the other way around as previous studies propose. This could be explained by the development of critical and demanding attitudes among the populace in countries with higher levels of democracy.
