This paper argues that the relationship between performance and incumbent support depends on the ability of voters to extract useful information about politicians from the economic outcomes that they observe. According to the author's hypothesis, there is a positive relationship between the openness of an economy and public support for incumbent governments. The increase in information available to the public, he suggests, is a substantial mechanism by which globalization enhances democratic governance.
