SynopsisThe book analyses a series of interrelated questions. How far are there legitimate grounds for concern about public support for democracy world-wide? Are trends towards growing cynicism evident in the United States in many established and newer democracies? What are the main political, economic, and cultural factors underpinning support for democratic government? Leading political scientists from around the world challenge conventional wisdom and conclude that accounts of a global democratic 'crisis' are greatly exaggerated., This stimulating book brings together a distinguished group of international scholars who develop a global analysis of issues that look at trends in established and newer democracies as we approach the end of the twentieth century. It also presents the first results of the 1995-7 World Values Study as well as drawing on an extensive range of comparative empirical evidence.
