A common ground in the literature on elite\u2019s notions of democracy is (1) that leaders\u2019 notions of democracy can be successfully captured by a representative-participatory dimension, and (2) that the way leaders view democracy is paramount to understand their behavior. Taking on an institutional perspective, the most common model combines an endogenous and exogenous origin of leaders\u2019 notions of democracy. The theory assumes that both local institutional arrangements and personal characteristics may have an impact on the way local leaders perceive democracy and behave. However, while some evidence has been found to support the exoge nous aspect of this theory (leaders\u2019 ideology influence their notions of democracy), the impact of local institutional arrangements on leaders\u2019 notions of democracy has received more limited empirical support. In this paper we provide a model of endogenous and exogenous factors on local elite\u2019s notions of democracy. In particular, we show that local leaders\u2019 political experience endogenizes the effect of ideology on their notions of democracy and on their support to dem ocratic reforms. We test our model using survey data from a sample of mayors in Spanish municipalities and find empirical support for our model. One of our main findings is that the effect of ideology on mayors\u2019 support for particular views of democracy decreases with political experience. Existe acuerdo en la literatura sobre las nociones de democracia sostenidas por la elite acerca de (1) que las nociones de democracia pueden ser representadas adecuadamente mediante una dimensi\u00f3n representativa-participativa, y (2) que el modo en que los l\u00edderes conciben la democracia es relevante para comprender su comportamiento. Desde una perspectiva institu cionalista, el modelo m\u00e1s com\u00fan combina el origen end\u00f3geno y ex\u00f3geno de las nociones de democracia de los l\u00edderes pol\u00edticos. La teor\u00eda asume que tanto los aspectos institucionales como las caracter\u00edsticas individuales tienen un impacto sobre la manera en que los l\u00edderes per ciben la democracia y act\u00faan. Sin embargo, aunque existe evidencia para apoyar el aspecto ex\u00f3geno de esta teor\u00eda (la ideolog\u00eda de los l\u00edderes influye en su visi\u00f3n sobre la democracia), el impacto del dise\u00f1o institucional local sobre las nociones de democracia ha recibido menor apoyo emp\u00edrico. En este trabajo se proporciona un modelo de factores end\u00f3genos y ex\u00f3genos de las nociones de democracia la elite pol\u00edtica municipal. En particular, mostramos que la experiencia pol\u00edtica endogeniza el efecto de la ideolog\u00eda sobre las nociones de democracia y el apoyo a reformas institucionales democr\u00e1ticas. Ponemos a prueba nuestro modelo mediante datos de encuesta sobre una muestra de alcaldes de municipios espa\u00f1oles y encontramos apoyo emp\u00edrico para el mismo. Uno de los principales hallazgos es que el efecto de la ideolo g\u00eda sobre el apoyo de los alcaldes a ciertas visiones concretas de la democracia decrece con la experiencia pol\u00edtica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
