THE SNS DEMOCRATIC AUDIT OF SWEDEN 1995-2008

The aim of the Democratic Audit is to actively contribute to a constructive, objective debate on the basic preconditions for democracy by means of a wider discussion of the concepts, analyses and the political science research on democracy. The Democratic Audit of Sweden consists of independent scholars who have been invited by SNS to assess the state of Swedish democracy.
