Afrobarometer Round 6: The Quality of Democracy and Governance in Algeria, 2015

Résumé 0

The Afrobarometer is a comparative series of public attitude surveys that collects and disseminates data regarding Africans' views on democracy, governance, the economy, civil society, and related issues. This particular data collection was concerned with the attitudes and opinions of the citizens of Algeria, and also includes a number of country-specific questions designed specifically for the Algeria survey. The data are collected from nationally representative samples in face-to-face interviews. Standard topics for the Afrobarometer include attitudes toward and evaluations of democracy, governance and economic conditions, political participation, national identity, and social capital. In addition, Round 6 surveys included special modules on taxation; gender issues; crime, conflict and insecurity; globalization; and social service delivery. Country-specific topics for Algeria include a series of questions about the impact of the Arab Spring and Islamic movements in Algeria. The surveys also collect a large set of socio-demographic indicators such as age, gender, education level, language, ethnicity, religious affiliation, occupation, housing, and political party affiliation. Afrobarometer Round 6 surveys were implemented in 36 countries.
