How Europeans View and Evaluate Democracy Revisited
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This book compares how Europeans view and evaluate democracy in 2021/22 and in 2012/13 based on surveys in 24 European countries. It shows that Europeans continue to be attached to democratic ideals and that they continue to be rather dissatisfied with the way these ideals are implemented in their country. The liberal democratic model continues to enjoy great support, just as it did a decade ago, and there is also support for additional models of democracy—for social, direct, and populist democracy. Surprisingly, the populist model turns out to be a complement of rather than a substitute for the other models.
