This paper proposes the establishment of a systematic framework for measuring dimensions of democracy within a university. It is shown that certain indicators internationally established and validated for the measurement of the institutional characteristics of democracy can, through appropriate adaptation, be transferred to the university field. A new model of mapping these characteristics to the university field was built using all available knowledge from international surveys, valid databases and researches conducted using questionnaires and structured interviews, specifically for the purposes of this paper. Chord diagrams, capable of providing meaningful dynamic graphical representations, were employed as a novel evaluative tool that highlights the existence and degree of significant interrelations between democracy indicators and democratic characteristics of the university. As a case study, we have chosen to analyze, compare and contrast the three most representative laws governing the operation of Greek universities for the last 35 years using the proposed model. Its operation, validity and capabilities were verified, after encapsulating the complex interdependencies among its variables, for a large time period, influenced by adverse social and economic changes. Thus, it can be used as an effective tool for comparisons among different universities, with respect to their democratic constitution.

评估与现代大学相关的民主制度的力量:以希腊大学为例

本文建议建立一个衡量大学内民主维度的系统框架。结果表明,国际上为衡量民主制度特征而建立和验证的某些指标,可以通过适当的调整,转移到大学领域。使用来自国际调查、有效数据库和使用问卷和结构化访谈进行的研究的所有可用知识构建了一个将这些特征映射到大学领域的新模型,特别是为了本文的目的。和弦图,能够提供有意义的动态图形表示,被用作一种新颖的评估工具,它突出了民主指标与大学民主特征之间显着相互关系的存在和程度。作为案例研究,我们选择使用所提出的模型分析、比较和对比过去 35 年来管理希腊大学运营的三个最具代表性的法律。它的运行、有效性和能力在封装其变量之间复杂的相互依赖关系后,在很长一段时间内,受到不利的社会和经济变化的影响。因此,它可以用作比较不同大学民主宪法的有效工具。使用建议的模型比较和对比过去 35 年来管理希腊大学运营的三项最具代表性的法律。它的运行、有效性和能力在封装其变量之间复杂的相互依赖关系后,在很长一段时间内,受到不利的社会和经济变化的影响。因此,它可以用作比较不同大学民主宪法的有效工具。使用建议的模型比较和对比过去 35 年来管理希腊大学运营的三项最具代表性的法律。它的运行、有效性和能力在封装其变量之间复杂的相互依赖关系后,在很长一段时间内,受到不利的社会和经济变化的影响。因此,它可以用作比较不同大学民主宪法的有效工具。
