Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of corruption in Latin America by studying the effect that the perception of the existence of corrupt officials has on the satisfaction of the democracy regime, considering the political and economic context in which citizens live to accept or reject it. In addition, it investigates the influence of the fight against corruption on the approval of democratic regime. Finally, it studies implication of corruption based on a contextual or geographical and analysis of democratic approval. The hypotheses are analyzed generating logit, clarify and multilevel logit model.
