Institute of Global and Public Affairs Hosts “IGPA 2025” Lecture Series: Prof. Lianjiang Li gave a lecture on “Measuring Regime Support.” 澳門大學全球與公共事務研究所舉辦客座講座:李連江教授主講 “Measuring Regime Support”

On November 6, 2025, the Institute of Global and Public Affairs at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Macau hosted a lecture under the IGPA 2025 Lecture Series. Professor Lianjiang Li, from the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong, delivered a lecture titled “Measuring Regime Support.”

In his lecture, Professor Li explored one of the most fundamental yet complex questions in comparative political studies: how to measure public support for political regimes accurately. Drawing on his extensive research in comparative politics, he highlighted ongoing debates surrounding the conceptualization of both regime and support, and introduced an innovative framework for assessing the structure and intensity of regime support across different political systems.

The discussion that followed saw active engagement from faculty members and students, who exchanged views on methodological challenges in measuring political attitudes, the applicability of regime‑support theories, and the broader implications for understanding political stability in contemporary Asia.

2025年11月6日，澳門大學社會科學學院全球與公共事務研究所舉辦IGPA 2025系列講座。香港大學政治與公共行政學系李連江教授應邀以 “Measuring Regime Support”為題發表專題演講。

在講座中，李連江教授探討了比較政治學研究中一個重要且極具挑戰性的問題：如何準確測量公眾對政權的支持。李教授指出，學界對於何為“政權”、何為“支持”仍存在諸多分歧。憑藉其在比較政治與政治行為領域的深厚積累，李教授基於創新的測量框架，系統剖析了不同政治體系中政權支持的結構與強度。

在互動環節，與會師生圍繞政治態度測量的方法、政權支持理論在不同體制中的適用性，以及對當代亞洲政治穩定的理解等議題，展開了熱烈討論。
