Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: We argue that the traditional judicial confidence measure, used in many studies, may not capture adequately attitudes towards the judiciary in the executivecentered regimes of Latin America, particularly in consolidating democracies. To understand more fully attitudes towards the judiciary in many Latin American nations, judicial confidence must be viewed in context of citizens’ confidence in other governmental institutions. Moreover, measurement of judicial legitimacy needs to take into account the degree of support of or trust in the judiciary relative to trust or support in other political institutions. We ask the questions: Do citizens differentiate the judiciary from other governmental institutions and do they accord more trust to judicial institutions than to non-judicial institutions? Using cross-national survey data from 1998, we offer evidence from Chile (consolidating), Costa Rica (consolidated), and Mexico (consolidating) to support our argument that judicial legitimacy, measured as relative trust vis-à-vis other institutions, varies across consolidating and consolidated democratic regimes. Our evidence indicates that partisanship and political ideology have greater relevance in relative support for the judiciary in consolidating societies of Chile and Mexico than in the consolidated Costa Rican society.
