Resumen
La actualidad política en Brasil se caracteriza por una profunda contraposición entre propensión al autoritarismo y deseo de una sociedad más justa y democrática. La presente investigación examina las posibles causas de esta polarización poniendo a prueba un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Se ha planteado la hipótesis de que la participación en la vida pública depende de la reacción de la ciudadanía frente a las inseguridades públicas y privadas (criminalidad, miedo al delito y corrupción) que afectan a la sociedad brasileña. Los resultados indican que la confianza en las instituciones y la capacidad de movilización cognitiva son dos factores que moldean la relación entre las inseguridades y dos visiones inconciliables de participación política: una pasivo-agresiva y otra proactiva y protestataria.
