RAPID: WAR, SOCIETY, AND DEMOCRACY

战争、社会和民主该项目对在遭受军事攻击的国家中支持政治自由的社会力量进行了系统的评估。虽然现有的大多数研究都强调国内因素，但这项研究将对战时条件下公众对民主制度和做法的支持的外部影响进行创新审查。将收集和分析新的调查数据，调查结果将提供有关战时民意的新见解，以及盟国如何通过他们的政策在艰难的战争条件下帮助维持对民主的支持。研究人员将利用一个小组设计，在一年的时间里进行三次调查。将收集关于受访者对政治自由和制度的偏好、关于战争对个人的具体影响、对战争持续时间和结果的预期、对公民的自豪感、国际联盟偏好、对其安全和国家安全的感知威胁以及跨国媒体影响的数据。先进的量化技术将被用来估计战争开始和持续时间对民主支持的主体之间和主体内部的影响，并对潜在的混杂因素进行控制。这些发现将有助于对战时舆论、战时联盟和战时条件下民主的韧性进行基础研究。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

WAR, SOCIETY AND DEMOCRACY The project offers a systematic assessment of the social forces sustaining support for political freedoms in states under military attack. Whereas most existing research emphasizes domestic factors, this study will undertake an innovative examination of external impacts on public support for democratic institutions and practices under wartime conditions. New survey data will be collected and analyzed, and the findings will provide new insights into wartime public opinion and how allies through their policies can help sustain support for democracy under the difficult conditions of war. The researchers will utilize a panel design for three waves of surveys to be conducted over the course of one year. Data will be collected on respondents’ preferences for political freedoms and institutions, and on specific war impacts on individuals, expectations of war duration and outcome; pride in citizenship; international alliance preferences; perceived threats to their security and state security; and transnational media impacts. Advanced quantitative techniques will be used to estimate between- and within-subject effects of war onset and duration on democracy support with controls for potential confounders. The findings will contribute to basic research on wartime public opinion, wartime alliances, and the resilience of democracy under wartime conditions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
