Resumen

En este artículo se examinan los vínculos entre educación y democracia en tres países del Cono Sur: Argentina, Chile y Uruguay. En particular, se pone a prueba la hipótesis ‘culturalista’ que propone que las actitudes y creencias que han sido consideradas como favorables al surgimiento y vigencia de las instituciones republicanas tienen más arraigo en los estratos con mayor nivel de escolarización. El análisis se lleva a cabo mediante pruebas no paramétricas (coeficiente Gamma, cociente de probabilidades) en base a información provista por la Encuesta Internacional de Valores. Los resultados revelan que este tipo de relación varía según el tipo de creencia o actitud considerada, el grupo social de que se trate y el país en el que tenga lugar. Así, más que confirmar o rechazar la hipótesis, los resultados sugieren que distintos aspectos de la democracia son valorados de formas diferentes en distintos grupos sociales.
