Asian Barometer

A Comparative Survey of Democracy, Governance and Development

Working Paper Series

Jointly Published by

Globalbarometer

The Asian Barometer (ABS) is an applied research program on public opinion on political values, democracy, and

governance around the region. The regional network encompasses research teams from thirteen East Asian political

systems (Japan, Mongolia, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia,

Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia), and five South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and

Nepal). Together, this regional survey network covers virtually all major political systems in the region, systems that

have experienced different trajectories of regime evolution and are currently at different stages of political transition.

The ABS Working Paper Series is intended to make research result within the ABS network available to the academic

community and other interested readers in preliminary form to encourage discussion and suggestions for revision before

final publication. Scholars in the ABS network also devote their work to the Series with the hope that a timely

dissemination of the findings of their surveys to the general public as well as the policy makers would help illuminate

the public discourse on democratic reform and good governance.

The topics covered in the Series range from country-specific assessment of values change and democratic development,

region-wide comparative analysis of citizen participation, popular orientation toward democracy and evaluation of

quality of governance, and discussion of survey methodology and data analysis strategies.

The ABS Working Paper Series supercedes the existing East Asia Barometer Working Paper Series as the network is

expanding to cover more countries in East and South Asia. Maintaining the same high standard of research methodology,

the new series both incorporates the existing papers in the old series and offers newly written papers with a broader

scope and more penetrating analyses.

The ABS Working Paper Series is issued by the Asian Barometer Project Office, which is jointly sponsored by the

Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences of National Taiwan University and the Institute of

Political Science of Academia Sinica.

Abstract

Support for democracy in India (2005-2013)

A first cut comparison of the findings from the second round of State of democracy study in

South Asia allows us to assess the changes and continuities in popular perceptions of democracy

in India. While democracy is reasonably well established both as a procedural phenomenon and

as an aspirational element in India’s politics, it remains to be monitored whether the popular

perceptions of democracy and support for democracy are stable or contingent on political

experiences.

This presentation makes the following main points:

Indians continue to see democracy more in terms of welfare provisioning than in terms of

formal procedures alone;

The idea of democracy is clearly more approved of than contending ideas of rule by army

or rule by religious leaders;

Side by side with support for democracy, there is some attraction for strong leaders and

expert rule;

Citizens are somewhat divided on whether the experience of democracy is satisfactory or

not and dissatisfaction with democracy has increased from 2005;

Satisfaction with democracy is linked to citizens’ perceptions about the current

government, country’s economic condition and one’s own economic condition;

The young, more educated and those with greater media exposure are more satisfied with

democracy;

People assess India’s democracy as middle order democracy on a scale of 1 to 10 and

hope that it will be more democratic in the future;

Less satisfaction with democracy notwithstanding, trust in key political institutions has

slightly increased from 2005.

Broadly, the presentation will try to locate citizens’ assessment in the context of past ten years of

Indian politics.
