Description

This comparative analysis explores electoral behavior and support for democracy in 13 countries across four continents. From 1990 to 2004, national election surveys were conducted in various democracies, shedding light on the impact of socio-political values and political intermediation on voter behavior.

The book builds upon a long-neglected analytical framework introduced by Paul Lazarsfeld and his collaborators in the 1940s. It systematically examines the role of political intermediation in shaping attitudes towards democracy and influencing various forms of political behavior.

With its comprehensive analysis, this volume provides valuable insights into the development of democratic systems and the factors that shape voter behavior. As part of the Comparative National Elections Project, it offers a unique perspective on the complexities of democratic consolidation.
