Each day democratic governments make a multitude of decisions that are unwelcome to many citizens. The long-term stability of democracies depends on the willingness of losing citizens to remain loyal to the state. We know from experience that established democracies have earned the basic loyalty of both winners and losers. However, our knowledge on the processes involved is less well developed. One reason for this neglect is that social scientists tend to dislike the coercive powers of the state. This research will focus on citizens' willingness to accept unfavourable decisions. The question is empirical; it is not assumed that citizens are morally obliged to comply with governments' decision. Adapted from the source document.
