Market justice’ in China and Russia
Market justice is an important concept in neoliberal discourses legitimating unequal distribution of welfare within societies. This article explores the question of how useful it is for understanding distributive justice attitudes in Russia and China. It is based on a comparative literature review and an analysis of focus group discussions carried out in most provincial cities in both countries in 2012 and 2013. The literature review shows that R…
Does distrust in providers affect health-care utilization in China
How trust affects health-care utilization is not well-understood, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This article focuses on China, a middle-income country where low trust in health-care settings has become a prominent issue, but actual levels of distrust and their implications for utilization are unknown. We conducted a nationally representative survey of the Chinese population (November 2012 to January 2013), which resulted in a sa…
Russia's Persistent Communist Legacy: Nostalgia, Reaction, and Reactionary Expectations
A political scientist looks at nostalgia, differentiating it from reaction, a desire to see the past return, and from expectations of the eventual restoration of the Communist system. Using data collected for the 2005 New Russia Barometer survey, the article explores the determinants of each of these three variables and tests explanations based on a legacy of values inherited from the past, political and economic performance, social structure, an…
Resigned Acceptance of an Incomplete Democracy: Russia's Political Equilibrium
To advance understanding of the present-day Russian regime, three political scientists set out a model of political authority in democratic and undemocratic regimes. New Russia Barometer surveys, especially a post-presidential election survey in March 2004, are used to document the amount of resigned acceptance of the Putin regime. The article reviews alternative hypotheses about why people may differ in their view of authority and tests the hypo…
How Strong Is Vladimir Putin's Support
A team of British-based social scientists draw on data from regular VTsIOM pre-campaign and presidential campaign polls and the post-election ninth New Russia Barometer survey to specify the breadth, commitment, and durability of support for Vladimir Putin. What were the political, economic, and social characteristics of his broad-based electoral support? Given Putin's “triangulated” appeal to Russians, how strongly is the electorate committed to…
Tensions Between the Democratic Ideal and Reality: South Korea
The greater the gap between democratic ideals and reality, the greater the resulting tension. This chapter presents a model of tension in a new democracy and applies it to the Republic of Korea (South Korea), drawing on survey data from the 1997 New Korea Barometer. South Korea is particularly suitable for intensive analysis, since the level of mass education is high and commitment to democratic ideals is also high, yet the introduction of free e…
