New Democracies Barometer 1994

The New Democracies Barometer (NDB) surveys were conducted in the years 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996 and 1998. The aim of the NDB is to evaluate long-terms developments in economic, social and political attitudes. Differences in the attitudes in the new democracies on the one hand and Austria as “control-country” or “referenz-country” on the other hand are presented. Identifying trends in the public opinion within the particular countries and serving as a monitor for the public opinion in this geopolitical part of Europe are other goals. The insight which is particularly of interest in the NDB is the development of standard indicators to operationalise and quantify the social, economic and political change in the transition from planned economy people’s democracies to market-based democracies.新民主国家晴雨表（New Democracies Barometer，NDB）调查分别于1991年、1992年、1994年、1996年及1998年开展。该项目旨在评估民众经济、社会与政治态度的长期演变态势。本数据集同时呈现了新民主国家与作为"对照国"或"参考国"的奥地利在民众态度上的差异。此外，识别特定国家的民意走向，并为欧洲该地缘政治区域的民意监测提供支撑，亦是其核心目标之一。该数据集尤为关注的核心内容，是构建标准化指标体系，以操作化并量化从计划经济人民民主国家向民主市场经济体转型过程中的社会、经济与政治变迁。
