Mission of the Center

The Center for the Study of Democratic Performance (CSDP) at Florida State University promotes research on how democratic institutions and processes affect such things as voting, representation, and policy making in order to assess the extent to which the practice of democracy conforms to democratic ideals.

To accomplish this end, the CSDP provides research support for Center faculty and graduate students, research assistantships to exceptional undergraduate students, sponsors lectures and conferences, and maintains a working paper series on this web site.
