Abstract
El concepto de democracia ocupa un lugar central en nuestros sistemas políticos y los ciudadanos son constantemente preguntados en encuestas por su opinión acerca de la democracia y por otros aspectos relacionados con la misma. Sin embargo, estas preguntas habitualmente omiten que el concepto de democracia es complejo y solo en contadas ocasiones se encuentran preguntas acerca de cómo entienden la democracia los entrevistados. Este estudio, combinando aprendizajes de la teoría política y la metodología de encuestas, analiza las preguntas de siete encuestas que hasta ahora se han realizado en España y que se aproximan de forma directa a estas concepciones. Para concluir, se ofrecen algunas reflexiones sobre las virtudes y defectos de las preguntas hasta ahora realizadas y se plantean unas recomendaciones generales para el futuro.
The concept of democracy is central to our political systems, and citizens are constantly asked in surveys about their views on democracy and related issues. However, these questions usually omit the fact that the democracy is a complex concept, and only rarely are questions asked about how respondents understand democracy. Combining insights from political theory and survey methodology, this study analyses questions from the seven surveys that have been carried out in Spain to date that have directly addressed these conceptions. Some remarks are provided in the conclusion about the strengths and weaknesses of the questions asked so far, as well as some general recommendations for future research.
