abstract: Over the last years the politics of discontentment have reared their head once more. This time a sense of misrepresentation is said to be at the root of the issue. This thesis aims to weigh the determinants of confidence in democratic institutions as experienced within two countries in Europe. Through a mixed methods approach targeting The Netherlands and Greece this research tries to compare the effect of place-based effects with interpersonal factors. These factors are: personal contentment, financial situation, gender, age and political affiliation. Place-based effects here are operationalised by modifying a question from the Eurobarometer 90.1 into a self-assessment of whether the respondent perceives him or her self as living in a centre of urban growth. In the end the research must conclude that within neither of the two countries selected a correlation can be found between perceived periphery and confidence in democratic systems.
