Abstract
So far I have discussed how elite political culture and behavior can affect democratic governance. However, democracy can only be sustained if citizens are supportive of key democratic values. In this and the following chapter, I explore the political culture of Panamanians by examining their attitudes toward democracy. The evidence is derived from the AmericasBaromete. surveys conducted in Panama and more than 20 other countries in Latin America every two years since 2004.1
