V-Dem Southern Europe

   
 
 

The V-Dem Regional Center for Southern Europe conducts research on the causes and consequences of democracy and democratization in the region, using the Varieties of Democracy dataset, and combining it with historical research. Until 2020 the center will pursue the following research projects: 1) a comparative study of patterns of democratic quality in France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal since the late 1960s to the present; 2) the causes of Southern European democratization during the twentieth century, within a cross-regional analysis; 3) the long-run consequences of democratic institutions for human welfare, economic development, and social and political trust.
