dc.description.abstract | Beginning with the Trilateral Commission report in 1975, recent studies have
demonstrated increasing dissatisfaction with the performance of democracies across Europe
(Crozier, et al. 1975). Citizens have become increasingly mistrustful of politicians, skeptical
about institutions, and disenchanted with the effectiveness of the democratic process
(Dalton, 2004). Recent longitudinal studies, analyzing satisfaction with democracy of
European citizens showed that in many European countries satisfaction with national
democracies flourishes and increases in time (see Wagner et al. 2009, Bellucci et al. 2012). At
the same time, the scientific has been characterized by the development of different
theoretical perspectives that all utilize different approaches in order to define and explain
support for democracy. We will first attempt to understand what citizens effectively support
when they say that they support “democracy.”
In order to answer this question, we will briefly review the literature on popular support for
democracy and then empirically explore the main theoretical model adopted in support for
democracy studies in order to understand if it still explains today'ʹs empirical reality of
Europe. In the second section we will try to assess where each European country is placed on
key dimensions of support for democracy. In that way, we will be able to see where Austria
stands within the European family in terms of support for democracy. Our third section
explores the possibility of deliberative mini publics to improve popular support for
democracy. The data we will analyze are produced by a deliberative poll experiment,
EuroPolis, which took place in 2009 and involved random sample of European citizens. We
seek to understand not only whether the citizens could become more supportive of the
political system, after participating in deliberative process, as assumed by deliberative model
of democracy, we also aim to learn something about the differences between the Austrian
and European sample. | en |
