What do Brazilians expect from democracy beyond the right to vote for their leaders? And do people on the left, centre and right understand it in the same way?
A qualitative study by the Monitor do Debate Público, Iesp-Uerj and INCT-ReDem explored those questions by listening to how people themselves define democracy.
The research focuses on what the population expects democracy to deliver, rather than treating voting rights as the end of the discussion.
