Huber Chapter 12 Conclusions: Party Behavior and Representative Democracy 279 These 35 democracies were chosen because they had a population of at least 2 million and received a 2012 Freedom House Average Freedom Ranking of 1 or 2.

If integration policies fail, there can be serious implications for national security. This paper examines the quality of electoral representation in western democracies, by comparing movements in the political preferences of citizens and the positions of political parties within the two-dimensional electoral space of eight countries between 1990 and 2009 with special attention to the preferences of occupational groups. 2016-04-01 2021-04-01 Nevertheless, most Western democracies have evolved since the 1980s towards a greater empowerment of regional levels of political representation (most dramatically in Spain, France, Belgium, Italy, Canada, and more recently the UK), while federal systems turned to more interdependent patterns of relations between states and federal governments (notably in Germany, the USA, and Switzerland). Political representation has been challenged by the crisis of party democracy. Western European countries have witnessed a growing detachment from parties, as shown by declining levels of party membership, partisan attachments and trust in political parties.

By considering movements in the positions of citizens and political parties over both short and long terms along two dimensions of the electoral space, we compare the contentions of studies which Most liberal democracies are Western societies (with exception of Japan, Taiwan, India and South Korea). Liberal democracies are susceptible to democratic backsliding and this is taking place or has taken place in several countries, including, but not limited to, the United States, Poland and Hungary. So political participation in policy making by the people is the fundamental meaning of democracy. In contrast, in mainland China's Leninist party-state system, representation and election have qualitatively different meanings, and political participation in mainland China has to adapt to this peculiar setting. Thus, public opinion is an independent variable - an important driver of public policy change. With the consideration of 12/1 opinion as a dependent variable, specifically, its responsiveness to policy change - the ongoing existence of both policy representation and public responsiveness is critical to the functioning of representative democracy.
