METAGORA: Measuring democracy, governance and human rights

The goal of this project is to test statistical methods for measuring different aspects regarding democracy, governance and human rights in different countries, which include the five nations that make up the Andean Community, the French-speaking nations of Africa, Sri Lanka, South Africa, the Philippines and Palestine. FUNDAR is responsible for the Mexican section of the project, which is a study on mistreatment by law-enforcement officials, whether they are police officers, court officials or prison guards. In order to compile the necessary information, an open-population survey will be implemented in Mexico City. Results can be expected during 2005.
