Para onde foram os partidos na opinião pública? As percepções sobre os partidos políticos na redemocratização no Brasil

ABSTRACT In this article, we discuss how Brazilian voters perceive political parties since the redemocratization process. We show, from several opinion surveys from this period, that since the end of the authoritarian regime political parties have not been able to build broad legitimacy as fundamental actors of the democratic regime. We argue that, although part of an international trend, the Brazilian case has historical and institutional elements that make it difficult to build solid party bases and result in a permanent dilemma for democratic consolidation.

摘要 本文探讨了巴西自民主化进程重启以来，选民对各政党的认知状况。依托该时期的多项民调数据，本文证实：自威权政权终结后，巴西各政党始终未能树立起作为民主体制核心行为体所需的广泛合法性。本文认为，尽管这一现象属于国际普遍趋势的组成部分，但巴西的国情兼具历史与制度层面的特殊性，这使其难以筑牢坚实的政党基础，并最终为民主巩固带来了持久的两难困局。
