Abstract

Abstract:In democratizing countries it seems to make sense that any prolonged crisis will turn citizens away from democracy, from its "rules of the game," and from the institutions tasked with upholding them. If ever there was such a country, surely it is Ukraine. Long beset by political instability and corruption, it has in recent years seen its crises become biblical: pestilence (in the form of covid-19) and war (in the form of Russian aggression and later the all-out Russian invasion launched on 24 February 2022). Instead of losing confidence in democracy as the best form of government, however, Ukrainian citizens have done the opposite, survey research from the MOBILISE Project reveals a staggering 35 percentage-point rise in Ukrainians' support for democracy over just three years. Ukrainians moved toward greater support for democracy between 2019 and 2022 precisely because ordinary citizens were able to observe democracy in action and working even in the face of major compounding crises.

为什么乌克兰人团结在民主周围
摘要:在民主化的国家,任何长期的危机都会使公民远离民主,远离其“游戏规则”,远离维护它们的机构,这似乎是有道理的。如果有这样一个国家,那一定是乌克兰。长期受到政治不稳定和腐败的困扰,近年来,它的危机变得像圣经一样:瘟疫(以covid-19的形式)和战争(以俄罗斯的侵略以及后来俄罗斯于2022年2月24日发动的全面入侵的形式)。然而,乌克兰公民并没有对民主作为最好的政府形式失去信心,相反,他们做了相反的事情,MOBILISE项目的调查研究显示,乌克兰人对民主的支持在短短三年内惊人地上升了35个百分点。乌克兰人在2019年至2022年期间走向了对民主的更大支持,正是因为普通公民能够观察到民主在行动,即使在面临重大复杂危机的情况下也能工作。
