The ‘Demokratieradar’ (Democracy Radar) is at the center of this research. This bi-annual survey asks the Austrian people about their views on democracy in general and the Austrian political system in particular. Each survey consists of a fixed set of questions (not altered over the years) and a variable one. On the one hand, the fixed set allows mapping of the evolution of opinion over time. Does the approval of democracy change? How is Austria’s development assessed? How do Austrian citizens participate in politics? Each survey will additionally address one special key issue.
