The research presented aims to make visible some significant differences in different territorial scales, in terms of political perceptions relevant to democratic governance and the constitution of the public sphere, as commitment to democracy and interpersonal trust and to institutions, among others. National survey results are compared with data from the Regional Barometer 2013, a survey of representative samples of the regions of Los Ri os, Los Lagos and Bio Bio. The analysis shows that regional opinions and perceptions differ significantly, not only with the whole country, but also between the regions themselves. This makes it clear that one of the problems of the national public sphere is that what is presented as the "we" -the political community-would be split from the experiences and subjectivities that "we" meant to represent. And that incorporating regional differentiation enables a more precise focus on democratic governance.
