Conceptualizing and Measuring the Quality of Democracy: The Citizens' Perspective
2018
In recent years, several measurements of the quality of democracy have been developed (e.g. Democracy Barometer, Varieties of Democracy Project). These objective measurements focus on institutional and procedural characteristics of democracy. This article starts from the premise that in order to fully understand the quality of democracy such objective measurements have to be complemented by subjective measurements based on the perspective of citizens. The aim of the article is to conceptualize and measure the subjective quality of democracy. First, a conceptualization of the subjective quality of democracy is developed consisting of citizens’ support for three normative models of democracy …

Gräberfelder zeigen selten zufällig angelegte und verteilte Grabstrukturen. Die Gräber selbst entstehen normalerweise in einem spontanen Prozess; in ihnen werden meist vollständig erhaltene Grabbeigaben absichtlich deponiert. Aus diesem Grund eignet sich diese Gattung archäologischer Befunde gut für eine quantitative und räumliche Analyse, die erlaubt, Informationen über die räumliche Organisation, den zeitlichen Ablauf und über sozio-ökonomische Aspekte des Friedhofes zu erhalten.

In this essay, we give a short overview of how media performance research has developed from the introduction of private broadcasting to the spread of the Internet and social media.

A Historical Analysis of Media Practices and Technologies in Protest Movements : A Review of Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun
2017
Dr. Anne Kaun’s book, <em>Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis</em> (London: Zed Books, 2016, 131 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78360-736-5), is a concise but comprehensive analysis of the changing media practices and technologies in protest movements.

Kaun begins her book with an introduction t…
