We have recently obtained a subscription to the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP). Now hosted at Vanderbilt Unviersity, LAPOP has systematically surveyed the citizens of Latin America on their political views, specifically on democratic values and their behaviors related to democracy, since the 1970s.
LAPOP surveys analyze citizen views on system support, political tolerance, citizen participation, local government, corruption, and views on authoritarianism in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The project has recently been expanded to also cover Albania, Israel, Madagascar, Canada and the United States.
LAPOP features access to AmericasBarometer— an effort to measure democratic values and behaviors in the Americas using national probability samples of voting-age adults. This is akin to LatinoBarometer for Central America.
