NEUTROSOPHIC AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINING FACTORS IN DEMOCRATIC STABILITY: THE CASE OF ECUADOR

Abstract

The establishment and maintenance of an effective democracy, characterized by its popularity, representativeness, and accountability, are fundamental elements in the process of consolidating a republic. Despite inherent challenges, such as antidemocratic coups that have left their mark on the country, perpetuating the use of force, it is imperative to chart a course toward democratic stability. The evolving definition of democracy over the years has given rise to diverse perspectives in the 21st century, emanating from individuals, institutions, and nations. Ecuador, as a republic, has experienced fluctuations in democratic stability throughout its history. This study focuses on analyzing the levels of democratic stability in Ecuadorian society, employing neutrosophic statistics to address the variability of the variable in question. The research results underscore that the deterioration of civil rights, evaluated from a neutrosophic perspective, emerges as a critical factor in the stability of democracy in society.
