Perceptions of Democracy Survey Report Launch
International IDEA is launching on 11 April the Perceptions of Democracy Survey (PODS), aimed at identifying how people understand and assess a range of attributes of democracy in their country contexts. Its unique value-add is a comparison of expert assessments and public evaluations of democracy and a comparison of representative samples and marginalized groups. The first PODS report, marking the launch of a series, provides analysis of 19 countries, focusing on three broad themes: how (and if) democracies deliver, people’s values, and public satisfaction and trust in political institutions.
The report findings are striking, revealing significant disparities between public and expert evaluations of democracy, as well as differences in the democratic experiences of average respondents and marginalized individuals.
Note: A post-event summary of the launch and recording will be sent to participants upon registration.
