Resumo(s)
O apoio popular ao sistema político tem sido descrito de forma bastante consensual como um elemento sine qua non para a sobrevivência e qualidade dos regimes democráticos (Easton, 1965; Lipset, 1959; Linz, 2001). Neste sentido, nas últimas décadas tem proliferado a investigação científica refente às determinantes que explicam o apoio à democracia, quer em tempo de normalidade como diante fenómenos extremos e anómalos. A presente investigação insere-se nesta área disciplinar e procurou analisar de que forma é que a crise financeira, primeiro, e a crise pandémica, depois, influenciaram o grau de adesão normativa dos portugueses face ao sistema político em Portugal. Na mesma linha, procuramos identificar, de forma comparativa, as determinantes micro e macro que explicam o apoio difuso à democracia portuguesa diante de duas crises de natureza distinta. Os resultados alcançados vão no sentido das nossas expetativas teóricas. Se a crise financeira foi responsável por uma redução assinalável do apoio difuso ao regime democrático, o mesmo não pode ser dito relativamente à crise pandémica. De facto, o reforço assistido não só na defesa do regime democrático como também ao nível da satisfação com o regime democrático e da confiança institucional permitem-nos discutir a possibilidade de este fenómeno constituir um efeito muito sugerido pela literatura de rally round de flag.
Public support for the political system has been widely described as a sine qua non element for the survival and quality of democratic regimes (Easton, 1965; Lipset, 1959; Linz, 2001). In this sense, in recent decades there has been a proliferation of scientific research into the determinants that explain support for democracy, both in times of normality and in the face of extreme and anomalous phenomena. This research is part of this disciplinary area and sought to analyse how the financial crisis, firstly, and the pandemic crisis, secondly, influenced the degree of normative adherence of the Portuguese towards the political system in Portugal. In the same vein, we sought to identify, in a comparative way, the micro and macro determinants that explain the diffuse support for Portuguese democracy in the face of two crises of a different nature. The results are in line with our theoretical expectations. While the financial crisis was responsible for a marked reduction in diffuse support for the democratic regime, the same cannot be said for the pandemic crisis. In fact, the reinforcement witnessed not only in the defence of the democratic regime but also in terms of satisfaction with the democratic regime and institutional trust allows us to discuss the possibility of this phenomenon constituting an rally round the flag effect, widely suggested by the literature.
