Since we have audited
the quality of democracy
HISTORY
The Observatory of Quality of Democracy (OQD) is a permanent research program of the Institute of Social Sciences that promotes and organizes projects focused on the diverse characteristics, functioning and quality of democratic regimes.
Created in 2010, as the Barometer of Quality of Democracy, the OQD aspires to be a repository of relevant information on the issues surrounding democracy, in both Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries. In this sense, the OQD aims to be a space for the production and dissemination of knowledge and to become a reference at the national and international levels.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the OQD are:
- To conduct studies on the quality of democracy in Portugal and on issues related to representative institutions;
- To establish itself as a reference program on the study and measurement of quality of democracy, both at the national and international levels;
- To gather and disseminate relevant data and information on democracy in Portugal and the Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOPS);
- To contribute to the production of knowledge regarding democracies in Portuguese-speaking countries.
