New democracies barometer - 1991+

"The Centre for the Study of Public Policy (CSPP) and the Paul Lazarsfeld Society, Vienna, cooperated in launching a major multi-national survey, the New Democracies Barometer (NDB), to monitor the response of people caught up in the transformation of their polity, economy, society and often state boundaries too. Five NDB surveys were conducted between 1991 and 1998. After the fifth round, the CSPP took responsibility for conducting surveys of post-Communist countries seeking membership in the European Union. It has conducted NEB rounds in 2001 and the winter of 2004/5. Countries covered in one or more surveys NDB/NEB surveys include: the eight new member states of the EU--Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,--plus two applicant countries, Bulgaria and Romania; and in the Balkans, Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia. In the former Soviet Union it covers Belarus and Ukraine, and there has been one survey in Moldova. In addition, many questions asked in NEB surveys have been asked in New Russia Barometer surveys. The NEB works on the Heineken's principle of reaching parts that official statistics do not reach. Because it is independent of government, it can ask people to evaluate their national institutions, for example, how fair government is and how trustworthy or untrustworthy are its political institutions. Evaluations are made of the current political and economic system by comparison with the past--and future expectations of democratic or undemocratic governance. Health is also a special concern."--NEB Surveys website.公共政策研究中心（Centre for the Study of Public Policy, CSPP）与维也纳保罗·拉扎斯菲尔德学会合作发起了一项大型跨国调查项目——新民主体制晴雨表（New Democracies Barometer, NDB），旨在追踪身处政治体制、经济结构、社会形态乃至国家边界转型进程中民众的态度与反馈。1991年至1998年间，该项目共开展五轮NDB调查。第五轮调查结束后，CSPP承接了针对申请加入欧盟的后共产主义国家的调查工作，并分别于2001年及2004/2005年冬季开展了新欧洲晴雨表（New Europe Barometer, NEB）轮次调查。参与过一轮或多轮NDB/NEB调查的国家包括：欧盟八个新成员国——捷克共和国、斯洛伐克、匈牙利、波兰、斯洛文尼亚、爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛，外加两个欧盟候选成员国保加利亚与罗马尼亚；巴尔干地区的克罗地亚、塞尔维亚及波斯尼亚。前苏联地区涵盖白俄罗斯与乌克兰，另在摩尔多瓦开展过一轮调查。此外，NEB调查中的诸多问卷题目亦被纳入新俄罗斯晴雨表（New Russia Barometer）调查项目。NEB调查秉持喜力原则（Heineken's principle），即覆盖官方统计未能触及的领域。由于该项目独立于政府之外，得以向民众征集对本国国家治理机构的评价，例如政府治理的公平性、政治机构的可信度高低等。民众可结合过往与当前的政治经济体系对其进行评估，并展望民主或非民主治理的未来预期。民众健康亦是该项目重点关注的议题。——NEB调查官网
