Abstract/Resumo
In the context of a cross-national economic crisis, questions about democratic legitimacy
are again topical.We explore the question of democratic legitimacy in Portugal and Greece
by employing the conceptual differentiation between diffuse and specific regime support.
Our findings indicate that while specific support has fallen in both countries, only Greece
has experienced a precipitous fall in diffuse support, suggesting a link between regime
performance and support for democracy. Individual-level analyses do not reveal any clear
patterns concerning the impact of long-term societal factors or short-term economic
considerations. Due to data quality limitations the paper has a predominately exploratory
nature.
