RAPID: WAR, SOCIETY, AND DEMOCRACY

战争、社会与民主该项目系统地评估了在遭受军事攻击的国家中维持对政治自由的支持的社会力量。虽然大多数现有的研究强调国内因素，这项研究将进行一个创新的外部影响，对公众支持的民主制度和做法在战时条件下的审查。新的调查数据将被收集和分析，调查结果将为战时公众舆论提供新的见解，以及盟友如何通过其政策在艰难的战争条件下帮助维持对民主的支持。 研究人员将利用面板设计进行为期一年的三波调查。将收集以下方面的数据：受访者对政治自由和制度的偏好，以及战争对个人的具体影响，对战争持续时间和结果的预期;对公民身份的自豪感;国际联盟的偏好;对其安全和国家安全的威胁;以及跨国媒体的影响。先进的定量技术将被用来估计之间和受试者内的影响，战争的爆发和持续时间对民主的支持与控制潜在的混杂因素。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
