Abstract
In the past couple of years we have experiences six sifts of regime change within the European Union. Only one of this countries made a change towards a democratic regime, the others lost their liberal democratic status. Democratic backsliding occurs when a democratically elected incumbent government undermines democratic institutions. In this thesis research will be done on when European Citizens stop supporting their liberal democratic regime, and which interaction effect between individual-level and system-level factors play a role in this process. The data suggest that interaction effects regarding people age and former communist countries have an effect on support for democratic backsliding, just like the levels of education on populism, and climate change.
