Purpose:
The Comparative Study of Democratization and Value Changes in East Asia Project is the largest systematic comparative survey of attitudes and values toward politics, democracy, reform, and citizens’ activities in East Asia, covering eight political systems - the People's Republic of China, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Mongolia. The first countries went into the field in autumn 2001, interviewing is completed in most countries and results are being integrated for release. The project is headquartered at National Taiwan University. The purpose is to assess levels of popular support for democratic government and belief in its legitimacy. The research is designed to make theoretical and substantive advances in our understanding of how variation in the macro-level properties of the political system impact on value changes, affect democratic value-orientation and democratic legitimacy, constrain political behavior, and shape the way citizens evaluate the political system and processes.
