47 Diffuse support is defined as “evaluations of what an object is or represents […] not of what it does” (Easton, 1975: 444) or as “a reservoir of favorable attitudes or good will that helps members to accept or tolerate outputs to which they are opposed or the effect of which they see as damaging to their wants” (Easton, 1965: 273). 48 _____ 45 For a detailed discussion of the regime as an object of political support, see Easton (1965: 190-211). 46 The model is somewhat similar to the one presented in Dalton (1999: 58).
The post-communist transition literature developed around three main actors – institutions, political elites, and citizens. 6 Popular support is not only necessary for the institutions to play their role in society: “just as macro-economic theories have no relevance to everyday life if they cannot be related to micro-economic activities of individuals, so constitutional forms are lifeless or irrelevant if they do not have the support of the people” (Rose, Mishler and Haerpfer, 1998: 8); it is one of the key defining features of democratic regimes (Easton 1965; Miller 1974; Norris 1999).
Since I discuss their findings later, I present here only a very brief list. First, we know that support for democratic values is highest among the young, well-educated urbanites (Finifter and Mickiewicz 1992; Miller, Reisinger, and Hesli 1993; Rose, Mishler, and Haerpfer 1998). We do not know, however, what happens with other societal groups, like the poorlyeducated or those living in rural areas, during the consolidation process. Do they continue to reject democratic values or do they adopt them, but at a slower pace?
