The evolution of support for democratic regime principles and its alternatives
The aim of this paper is to examine the claim that “most people in almost every country worldwide prefer democracy over other types of regimes” against new data, so as to add to the global map of popular perceptions about their support for various regime types. We describe measured changes in levels of public support in 49 countries over four waves of the World Values Survey on three levels: country specific, regional–continental, and global. We …
Democracy, well‐being, and happiness
This article explores the association between subjective well‐being (life satisfaction and happiness) and the importance of living in a democracy in 10 countries: Brazil, China, India, Russia, Rwanda, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States. We examine well‐being as one possible indicator of the likelihood of a society's commitment to democracy. We find that there is indeed a relationship between life satisfaction and the i…
Democracy in crisis? A study of various dimensions and sources of support for democracy

In this study we use data from the World Values Survey to measure five dimensions of active citizenship (considered important for democracy) in four countries of the Third Wave: Chile, Poland, South Africa and South Korea. We compare the Third Wave countries with two consolidated democracies (Germany and Sweden) as well as o…
