Perception of Liberal Democracy in Slovakia: Latent Profiles of Citizens

Summary/Abstract: Perception of Liberal Democracy in Slovakia: Latent Profiles of Citizens. The deterioration of the quality of democracy, or even the democracy deconsolidation in Central and Eastern Europe has been a hotly debated topic in academic research for several years. Our study contributes to this debate with a new perspective. Based on a public opinion poll, we are looking for systematic patterns in the support for the key principles of modern liberal democracies in Slovakia. The analysis of latent profiles reveals four different groups of citizens, and subsequently the logistic regression analysis reveals the factors that distinguishes different types of citizens. We found that the selected principles of liberal democracy are not rejected by majority of population, which indicates the liberal democracy should not be threatened. However, some of the principles are much less important than others for large groups of the population. Sociológia 2021, Vol. 53 (No. 2: 91-118)
