    <description>Title: The political culture of unified Germany
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Fuchs, Dieter
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: One condition for the stability of democratic systems is the development of a political culture that is congruent with the implemented structure. As the presented data shows, in unified Germany this kind of congruence exists only in West Germany. In East Germany a majority of citizens is supporting democracy as well, but have a rather skeptical attitude toward the liberal democracy of Germany. This skepticism results partly from socialization and experiences in the state socialist system of the GDR. These lead to the preference of another normative model of democracy than the liberal democracy institutionalized in Germany. Considering the acceptance of the liberal democracy of Germany and the values underlying this model of democracy, the inner unity of the community of Germans remains still to be seen.</description>

    <description>Title: Handbuch zur Inhaltsanalyse programmatischer Dokumente von Parteien und Regierungen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Volkens, Andrea
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Der vorliegende Ansatz zur quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse programmatischer Dokumente von bundesdeutschen Parteien und Regierungen wurde im Rahmen der Manifesto Research Group (MRG) entwickelt. Er erweitert und verfeinert den für den internationalen Vergleich entwickelten MRG-Ansatz für den nationalen Vergleich, indem er über die Messung von politischen Positionen hinaus die in den Dokumenten benannten Themen, Akteure, Handlungsaspekte und betroffene Personengruppen sowie Institutionen, Organisationen, Regionen und Staaten identifiziert. Das Handbuch führt in die Auswahl der Dokumente und Codiereinheiten und in die Anwendung der Klassifikationsvariablen ein. Die Klassifikationsvariablen wurden unter Mitarbeit von Katrin Voltmer, Achim Huber, Carolin Schöbel und Bernhard Weßels am Zentralinstitut 6 der Freien Universität Berlin in den Jahren 1985 bis 1988 entwickelt. In diesem Zeitraum wurden die Wahlprogramme und Regierungserklärungen von 1949 bis 1986 inhaltsanalytisch erschlossen. Seit der Gründung der Abteilung Institutionen und sozialer Wandel am Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) stellt das WZB Ressourcen zur Verfügung, um die Datensammlung zu vervollständigen und zu erweitern.</description>

    <description>Title: Mapping political support in the 1990s: a global analysis
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Klingemann, Hans-Dieter
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Over the past quarter century, an unprecedented and often unanticipated wave of democratization has spread over large parts of the world. While some skepticism is reasonable regarding both the level and durability of many of the new experiments of democratization, the direction and scope of these developments are largely beyond dispute. The main goal of this essay is to use an unprecedented body of comparative survey research to map patterns and forms of political support across a wide range of political conditions. While the goal is primarily descriptive, in the course of the descriptions interesting themes emerge, such as the finding that there are no major trends suggesting a decline in support for democracy as a form of government, neither de jure nor de facto, or that the fact of dissatisfaction does not imply danger to the persistence or furtherance of democracy.</description>
