Most member states of the United Nations are not democratic. Developments over the past decade have shown, however, that undemocratic regimes are increasingly unstable. The collapse of Communism offers an extraordinary opportunity to study the process of change from authoritarian to democratic regime. Democratic transitions are occurring simultaneously in more than a dozen Central and Eastern European countries. And, unlike transitions elsewhere, democratization is occurring simultaneously with the transition from non-market to market economy. Every one of the democratizing regimes faces major problems that threaten the establishment and maintenance of their representative institutions. This project investigates the evolution of political support for new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe. A pooled, time series data set will be created from a series of 46 New Democracies Barometer surveys conducted over the past five years in the nations of Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Belarus and Ukraine. This data set will allow the testing of political-cultural, economic, and social theories of mass support for (or rejection of) democratic regimes.

联合国的大多数成员国都不民主。然而，过去十年的事态发展表明，不民主的政权越来越不稳定。共产主义的崩溃为研究从威权政权向民主政权转变的过程提供了一个非同寻常的机会。十多个中欧和东欧国家同时进行民主过渡。而且，与其他地方的转型不同，民主化是在从非市场经济向市场经济转型的同时进行的。每个民主化政权都面临着威胁建立和维持其代议制机构的重大问题。这个项目调查了对中欧和东欧新民主国家的政治支持的演变。将根据过去五年在保加利亚、捷克共和国、斯洛伐克、匈牙利、波兰、罗马尼亚、斯洛文尼亚、白俄罗斯和乌克兰等国进行的一系列46项新民主政体晴雨表调查，创建一个汇集的时间序列数据集。这一数据集将允许测试大众支持(或拒绝)民主政权的政治-文化、经济和社会理论。
