Transformations of Political Culture in Guatemala: Analysis of the 2015 Crisis

NDI conducted a four-part study that analyzes changes to Guatemalan political culture. The study includes: case studies on the transformation of political culture by analyzing social media; a map of key political actors, including groups and individuals that existed before the political crisis as well as emerging actors; an analysis of methods of political action used by citizens and civic groups during the public protests; and an analysis of the government’s reaction and response to the civic protests. In addition, NDI conducted a quantitative national random survey of attitudes on political culture, the results of which informed all sections of the study.
