Abstract:

The Social Study administered Politicize (tssq24_1) questionnaire on behalf of Jean-Benoit Pilet (ULB) between 15/04/2024 and 27/05/2024.<br> <br> The Politicize questionnaire examines public attitudes towards democracy, political institutions, and alternative models of government. Against the backdrop of growing concerns about dissatisfaction with representative democracy, the survey explores citizens' views on democratic governance, democratic norm violations, authoritarian attitudes, institutional reforms, and perceived shortcomings of the current political system.

For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information.<br> 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.<br> 4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this License.<br> <br> Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights<br> Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:<br> a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes only;<br> b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and<br> c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.<br> For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.<br> <br> Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability<br> a. Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.<br> b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.<br> c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.<br> <br> Section 6 – Term and Termination<br> a. This License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this License, then Your rights under this License terminate automatically.<br> b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:<br> 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or<br> 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.<br> For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this License.<br> c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this License.<br> d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this License.<br> <br> Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions<br> a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.<br> b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this License.<br> <br> Section 8 – Interpretation<br> a. For the avoidance of doubt, this License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this License.<br> b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.<br> c. No term or condition of this License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.<br> d. Nothing in this License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.<br>
