This book focuses on 'democratic deficits', reflecting how far the perceived democratic performance of any state diverges from public expectations. Pippa Norris examines the symptoms by comparing system support in more than fifty societies worldwide, challenging the pervasive claim that most established democracies have experienced a steadily rising tide of political disaffection during the third-wave era. The book diagnoses the reasons behind the democratic deficit, including demand (rising public aspirations for democracy), information (negative news about government) and supply (the performance and structure of democratic regimes). Finally, Norris examines the consequences for active citizenship, for governance and, ultimately, for democratization. This book provides fresh insights into major issues at the heart of comparative politics, public opinion, political culture, political behavior, democratic governance, political psychology, political communications, public policymaking, comparative sociology, cross-national survey analysis and the dynamics of the democratization process. 606 $aDemocratization 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aDemocracy$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic administration$xEvaluation 606 $aPolitical participation 606 $aPolitical indicators 606 $aLegitimacy of governments 606 $aComparative government 615 0$aDemocratization. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aDemocracy$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic administration$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPolitical participation. 615 0$aPolitical indicators. 615 0$aLegitimacy of governments. 615 0$aComparative government. 676 $a321.8 700 $aNorris$b Pippa$0144668 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459705803321 996 $aDemocratic deficit$91905641 997 $aUNINA
