Kort beskrivning

PERDEM - “The Performance of Democracies" var ett stort forskningsprojekt inom QoG-institutet. Projektet finansierades av ett så kallat "Advanced Research Grant" från Europeiska forskningsrådet som utlysts till professor Bo Rothstein. Det huvudsakliga syftet med projektet är att analysera sambandet mellan hur demokratier är organiserade och hur de väl de presterar när det gäller att generera mänsklig välfärd, motverka korruption och hantera offentliga finanser. Projektet startade 2014 och pågår i fem år.
