'Der Artikel setzt sich mit der Messung von Demokratie und Demokratiequalität auseinander. Dabei werden drei globale (quantitative) 'Makromodelle' für Demokratiemessung verglichen: Freedom House, Democracy Index und Democracy Ranking. Drei Forschungsfragen stehen im Vordergrund: Wie unterscheiden sich die drei Initiativen konzeptionell und methodisch voneinander? Wie plausibel sind diese drei Makromodelle für Demokratiemessung? Wie ähnlich (oder unähnlich) sind die empirischen Messergebnisse von Demokratie und Demokratiequalität? Für eine umfassendere Diskussion der Befunde wird auch auf (paarweise) Ländervergleiche von Demokratiequalität in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur verwiesen. Es lässt sich eine tendenzielle Übereinstimmung der Einschätzungen von Demokratiequalität sowohl der ('quantitativen') Makromodelle als auch der (teilweise mehr 'qualitativen') Länderanalysen zur Diskussion stellen.'

'The article focuses on measuring democracy and the quality of democracy by comparing three global (quantitative) 'macro models': Freedom House, Democracy Index and Democracy Ranking. The following research questions are crucial: how do these three initiatives differ conceptually and methodically from each other; how plausible are those three macro models of democracy measurement; how similar (or dissimilar) are the empirical measurement results of democracy and the quality of democracy? For a more comprehensive discussion of the findings, we also refer to a (pair-wise) comparison of countries and of the quality of their democracies, as it is being reported in the recent academic literature. In our assessment there appears to be a tendency of correspondence between the quality of democracy of the ('quantitative') macro models and of the (partially more 'qualitative') country-based case studies.'
