This study sought to evaluate the democratic credentials of the country's institutions; identify what must be done to improve the quality of democracy in different aspects of public life; and inform policy proposals aimed at improving Latvia's democratic institutions. The study highlighted positive and negative aspects of democracy in Latvia.
