Crisis management and attitudes towards democracy
What is the relationship between crisis management strategies and democratic attitudes in a supranational economic union? We analyse the process of policy convergence within the European Union (EU) in the handling of the economic crisis induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing countries with different conditionality experiences during the 2010 sovereign debt crisis. Unlike in 2010, the strategy for managing the 2020 crisis reflected institutio…
There is No Alternative? How European Voters Perceive Democratic Choices Over Economic and Non-Economic Policies
To have meaningful elections, political parties should offer clear, distinct policy programs, and if elected, consistently implement those programs. But the unique context of European integration challenges both the ability of political parties to offer a diverse set of political choices, and of national governments to implement those policies, especially in the economic area. Do citizens of European democracies feel that their alternatives are l…
Why democracy does not work for everyone
Why do losers like democracy less than winners? Although the fact that social status influences support for democracy is empirically established, it is often overlooked in the literature. This article analyses the effects of subjective and objective social status on citizens' expectations and evaluations of democracy. Results show that low status citizens value democratic dimensions differently - they prefer social justice over liberal criteria. …
Fading EUphoria
Greece, Portugal, and Spain transitioned to democracy in the 1970s and joined the EEC in the 1980s, fostering positive EU attitudes through economic growth. However, the Southern European financial crisis and subsequent austerity measures deeply strained EU support, especially in Greece. This study examines how party conflict and EU politicisation influence public attitudes, finding a negative link between EU polarisation and membership support. …
The young, the radical and the dissatisfied
Assessing survey mode effects in the 2019 EP elections
The quality of online survey data is sometimes seen as inferior compared to probabilistic face-to-face surveys. Extending existing research beyond the commonly studied cases, we analyse six European countries, comparing data from a representative online survey fielded for the 2019 EP elections to the European Social Survey 9 and EB 91.5. We assess the effects of survey mode in terms of representativeness compared to validated benchmarks, as well …
A new Iberian exceptionalism? Comparing the populist radical right electorate in Portugal and Spain
Since their transition to democracy in the 1970s, Spain and Portugal have been ‘immune’ to the success of populist radical right (PRR) parties. This exceptional situation, however, came to an end: Chega’s leader, André Ventura, was elected in the Portuguese parliament, while VOX has become the third most voted political party of Spain. Using new online survey data from the Spanish and Portuguese national elections in 2019, we find that the Iberia…
Technocratic attitudes and voting behaviour ten years after the Eurozone crisis
The Making of Democratic Citizens
When analysing support for democracy, researchers tend to assume that ‘democracy’ is a concept that travels across countries. This paper argues that democracy is not the same thing for every citizen, because collective and individual socialization experiences strongly shape the criteria citizens expect a democracy to fulfil. Based on the literature on varieties of democracy, I suppose that individual expectations of democracy are influenced by re…
