These latter surveys are based on representative national samples of 1,320 respondents interviewed in Palestine in December 2003, of 1,000 respondents interviewed in Jordan in the same month, and of 1,443 respondents interviewed in Algeria in July and August 2004. Mark Tessler is the principal investigator for this study, which is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and devoted to "The Nature and Determinants of Regime Preference and Political Values in Jordan, Kuwait, and Palestine: Implications for Arab Politics and for the Comparative Study of Governance and Democracy." Additional surveys are being conducted as part of this project in Morocco and Kuwait.
