在拥有多种不同政体的国家中，可以找到一定程度的民众支持，有些是民主政体，有些不是民主政体，这一点经常被专门关注民主化的理论所忽视。本文提出了关于不同的社会、经济和政治背景如何影响政权支持的九个假设。世界价值观调查提供了欧洲、北美、南美、非洲、亚洲和印度 36 个国家政权支持的数据。这些国家在许多方面存在很大差异，包括是否举行自由选举、是否实行法治或腐败。对跨国支持的三个影响在统计上是显着的：政权遵循法治的程度；有自由和公平的选举；经济保持高生活水平。最重要的是法治。结论考虑了对新民主国家的影响，这些国家往往在建立法治和高物质生活水平之前就引入了自由选举，从而使得第三波政权的动态与早期民主化浪潮截然不同，也需要不同的解释理论。
A measure of popular support can be found in states with many different kinds of regimes, some democratic and some not, a point often overlooked by theories that concentrate exclusively on democratization. This article sets out nine hypotheses about how different social, economic and political contexts may influence regime support. The World Values Survey provides data about regime support in 36 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia and India. The countries vary substantially in many ways, including whether or not they hold free elections and whether or not they apply the rule of law or are corrupt. Three influences on cross-national support are statistically significant: the extent to which the regime follows the rule of law; there are free and fair elections; and the economy maintains a high standard of living. The most important is the rule of law. The conclusion considers implications for new democracies, where free elections have often been introduced before the establishment of the rule of law and a high material living standard, thus making the dynamics of third wave regimes very different from earlier waves of democratization, and also requiring different explanatory theories.
