?:abstract
  • This chapter investigates whether democracy is in crisis from the perspective of experts and citizens. We do so by comparing indices of the quality of democracy and individuals' judgments on the functioning of democracy over time. First, by making use of indices provided by the Democracy Barometer project along with survey and election data, we empirically assess the overall development of established democracies throughout past decades. Second, we pay special attention to democracy's subcomponents. Hence, we ask how the different dimensions, partial regimes, institutions, and organizations of democracy are seen by experts and citizens. Based on this, we show that none of the employed indicators suggest any crisis tendencies at the highest level of aggregation. Neither ``objective'' nor ``subjective'' assessments, thus, suggest an overall decline of the quality and functioning of democracy. A more fine-grained look at lower levels, however, reveals subtrends that indicate a decrease of some of democracies' core features. Declining turnout rates, rising social selectivity in political participation, and fading confidence in democracies' core (majoritarian) institutions point to specific phenomena that need further evaluation. This will be provided in the subsequent chapters of this volume. (xsd:string)
