A Cross-National Analysis of Trust and Support for Pandemic Response Measures
Even as COVID-19 threatened millions of lives, people in many countries resisted public health recommendations. In a cross-national study of pandemic response, we demonstrate that political trust across different institutions predicts support for policies to manage the health risks. We disaggregate political trust, creating separate measures for “partisan” and “nonpartisan” controlled institutions. Our empirical strategy utilizes data from Euroba…
What Kind of Democracy Do We All Support? How Partisan Interest Impacts a Citizen’s Conceptualization of Democracy
Despite waves of democratic backsliding over the last decade, most global citizens still claim to support democracy. On the other hand, many citizens become more supportive of specific anti-democratic actions when their preferred political side can benefit. How, then, do citizens justify their consistent “explicit support for democracy” with their more malleable support for the implementation of liberal democracy? This paper uses cross-national s…

Elite response to protest in authoritarian settings: Evidence from Russia
Scholars of contentious politics understand the critical role of opposition protests and the elite in influencing regime outcomes. What is less understood, however, is how opposition protest can impact the “hearts and minds” of elites in authoritarian settings. Using the timing of the Survey of Russian Elites and a 2016 protest in Moscow to commemorate the death of a Russian opposition figure, we show that elites initially responded with sympathy…
Understanding the sources of anti-Americanism in the Russian elite
This paper applies the model of opinion formation developed by John Zaller to the study of anti-American attitudes in the Russian elite. It examines the relative weight of political predispositions (interests, values, and experiences) versus immediately accessible “considerations” that depend on the flow of information in elite discourse. Based on survey data from 1995–2016, we find that two key political predispositions (identification as a West…
