“…TtC was explained by a series of sociodemographic characteristics and preferences/perceptions presented by previous studies on TtC as of relevance (Hunady, 2017 ; Pop, 2012 ; Torgler & Valev, 2006 ) that appeared simultaneously in both surveys at the individual-level, as well as by a series of selected country-level macroconditions usually linked to the existing knowledge on corruption (Doorenspleet, 2019 ; Kubbe, 2018 ; Pop, 2012 ). Information on corruption extension and experience was available only at the EB dataset but these variables were crucial to better explore how the two most usual ways of measuring corruption in public opinion surveys (Wysmułek, 2019 ) interact directly with TtC.…”

“…However, why would it be important to explore this puzzle? To ensure that the available tolerance measurements are representative of the concept (or at least dimensions of it) they aim to measure; to integrate measurement, causes, and types of TtC into the existing contemporary research on corruption in democratic environments (Doorenspleet, 2019 ); and to insert TtC into a multilevel analytical model of corruption, where individual, contextual, and group processes (Modesto & Pilati, 2020 ) together interact to describe the nuances of this phenomenon in Europe. All this is intended to provide anticorruption bodies and survey developers with more evidence about the importance of considering the corruption tolerance issue when framing policies.…”

“…There are two particularly important relationships that can offer elucidative answers to Q2 and are of interest for research in the field: how do the extent and experience of corruption interact together with TtC in advanced democracies? By doing this, this article aims to connect the study of TtC with a broader knowledge previously acquired on the impact of corruption on democracy (Doorenspleet, 2019 ; Kubbe, 2018 ).…”

Cross-national survey data shows that for a significant share of European citizens, corruption is acceptable. Notwithstanding the importance of prior knowledge on corruption extension and experience, research has made little progress in exploring why people condone it, especially in unsuspicious countries, with effective institutions and stable democratic rules and processes. The present study examines this gap in the literature by assessing the European Values Study (EVS) and the Special Eurobarometer (EB) attempts at measuring ‘Tolerance towards Corruption’ (TtC) in OECD countries in Europe during the same period (2017–2019). In the end, measurements proved to be constrained by the limited number of questions/items that try to capture TtC, which gave room to conclude that: (a) EVS and EB approaches do not measure the same TtC. The first measures it through social transgressions not exclusively related to corruption, while the second measures the willingness to accept a public-office corruption when dealing with the public sphere. (b) Lower ages combined with individual preferences/perceptions of less satisfaction with life, widespread corruption, and prior experiences with corruption proved to be more relevant to explain TtC, regardless of the country in which individuals were surveyed. (c) The type of TtC citizens display in advanced democracies proved to be mainly contingent on their age and on the way they interpret the extension of corruption and the prior contact they had with a public-office corruption in a given society.

“…Bu süreçte, pek çok insan, yaşanan demokratikleşme süreçlerinin durdurulamaz ve geri döndürülemez olduğuna, dünya ölçeğinde giderek güçleneceğine inanmıştır. 6 Söz konusu zaman diliminde, demokrasinin güç açısından zirveye ulaştığını söylemek mümkündür. Fukuyama'nın bu dönemde ortaya attığı ünlü Tarihin Sonu teziyle kastettiği, bu zirvenin daha ilerisinin bulunmadığıdır.…”

* Dikkatli okumaları ve yerinde önerileriyle makalenin son şeklini almasında katkıda bulunan Liberal Düşünce dergisi hakemlerine teşekkür ederim. HEB Öz Son dönemde, siyaset bilimi literatüründe, demokrasi ve demokratikleşmeyle ilgili tartışmalar artmış ve farklı bir istikamete yönelmiştir. Tartışmaların odak noktası, liberal demokrasilerde popülizmin yükseldiği ve popülist siyasetçilerin güç kazandığıdır. Bunun yanında, pek çok demokratik yönetimlerin otoritarizme doğru kaydığı yönünde çok sayıda iddia vardır. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu iddialar, eleştirel bir yaklaşımla ele alınmıştır. Günümüzde Batı ülkelerinde pek çok siyasetçinin yabancı düşmanlığı ve İslamofobi temelli bir söylem kullandığı açıktır. Buna koşut olarak siyasal özgürlüklerin geçmişe göre kısıtlandığı bir süreç yaşanmaktadır. Ancak ortaya çıkan bu sorunu liberal demokrasinin açmazı olarak görmek doğru değildir. Demokrasi karşıtı söz konusu yaklaşımlar, dünya ölçeğinde yaşanan ekonomik ve sosyal krizle yakından ilişkilidir. Bu kriz sürecinden liberal demokrasinin güçlenerek çıkacağı iddia edilebilir.

“…In a nutshell, participatory democracy put much more emphasis on the principle that democratic legitimacy is based on the active and enduring participation of ordinary citizens. (Doorenspleet, 2019) put it clear that in scenario like this, democracy definitely assumes an important meaning in the global citizenry's perspective.…”

Kashmir is world famous for the cultivation of rich and quality saffron (Crocus sativus) and is one of the major saffron producing areas of the world. However, there has been decline in the production of saffron over the years and the current study is aimed at studying factors which has negative impact on the production and cultivation of saffron (Crocus sativus) in Kashmir. To examine the factors which has negative influence on the declining of saffron industry in Kashmir, the current study used descriptive qualitative research design to answer this research question. The researchers identified the three major saffron producing villages (Dusso, Chandhara and Lethpora) wherein major and experienced 36 saffron growers were selected using purposive sampling technique the data of the growers was retrieved from the records of Revenue and Agriculture Departments. Key-Informant interview schedule was used during the interviews which was developed and validated by two independent experts working in agriculture field. Thematic analysis was carried and colour coding of the statements were done for the themes by the researchers which were reviewed by two supervisors. The findings of the study indicate that there are various factors which are responsible for the declining of the saffron industry in Kashmir. The findings suggest that climate changes, irrigation facilities, marketing, awareness and training about cultivation, availability of unexperienced labour force, illegal construction on saffron land, clandestine of cheap saffron, adulteration, and non-availability of good quality saffron corms were the major factors found in the study responsible for declining of saffron cultivation in Kashmir and the conversion of saffron land into commercial purposes. The study has implication for the future research focusing on the factors and coming up with grower friendly interventions to protect this cash crop from declining.
