| Summary: |
Article analyzes the citizenship growing mistrust towards political parties and
politicians in general, caused in most cases by the sense of non-representation and to a
great extent by the frustration created by economic reform expectations. It offers
especially an analysis for the Costa Rican case where distrust on the party system
increased due to successive indictment within a few weeks, against former presidents.
The price of this parties mistrust also diminishes citizens� capacity to judge government
performance by punishing or supporting the ruling party in other type of elections or in
the following presidential elections. It concludes that perhaps the central challenge in
order to regain or maintain social trust is to show that social demands are a clear priority
of the parties and the government. |
