Breaking with mainstream politics while engaging with polarized: Determinants of young Europeans’ support for democracy
It is quite consensual that the younger citizens exhibit higher – although objectively modest – scepticism about democracy and openness to undemocratic forms of government. Despite the ongoing debate about whether a process of deconsolidation is underway in liberal democracies, as well as about the role of young citizens in it, research has so far given little attention to finding out why younger people are more likely to turn away from democracy…
Determinants of Political Trust during the Early Months of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Putting Policy Performance into Evidence
Basing on the previous and early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, this article analysis the main determinants of citizens’ trust in the prime minister over that period. Prior research on the political effects of the pandemic has mostly focused on identifying a rally around the flag effect, and little is known about other reasons behind the increase in trust after the outbreak of the pandemic. Based on survey data from February to July 2020 for Sp…
Political Institutions and Democracy in Portugal: Assessing the Impact of the Eurocrisis
A ‘necessary evil’ even during hard times? Public support for political parties in Portugal before and after the bailout (2008 and 2012)
Notwithstanding the prolific research on the crisis of democracy since the 1980s, the attention that has been given to political parties has not been enough to fully understand the (increasing lack of) citizen support for them. Additionally, there is too little research on how the economic context can contribute to changes in support for political parties. Focusing on the Portuguese case, this article has three main goals: to assess citizen suppo…
Representation in times of crisis: Deputy–voter congruence on views of representation in Portugal
This article compares how Portuguese voters and deputies evaluated the role of legislators and the representation process before and after the economic crisis (2008 and 2012, respectively). It makes use of a set of six issues characterising two views of representation: one institutional–independent and another participatory–mandatory. It also includes an analysis of two core policy issues. The research draws upon surveys of Portuguese voters and …
Support for Democracy in Times of Crisis: Diffuse and Specific Regime Support in Portugal and Greece
In the context of a cross-national economic crisis, questions about democratic legitimacy are again topical. We explore the question of democratic legitimacy in Portugal and Greece by employing the conceptual differentiation between diffuse and specific regime support. Our findings indicate that while specific support has fallen in both countries, only Greece has experienced a precipitous fall in diffuse support, suggesting a link between regime …
Attitudes Towards the Focus and Style of Political Representation Among Belgian, French and Portuguese Parliamentarians
This article analyses the attitudes of members of parliament towards representation. Based on the PARENEL project dataset, it takes an individual-level approach to examine the focus and style of representation of Belgian, French and Portuguese representatives. It shows that, given the complexity of the process of representation, MPs have various principals and develop multiple foci of representation. It also demonstrates the impact of electoral r…
Public Attitudes towards Parties in Portugal: A Longitudinal Overview
This article reviews the case of the often claimed “crisis of parties” in Portugal, and argues that such controversy rests at least in part on “ambiguous” evidence. We will try to answer two fundamental research questions: 1) What motivates popular support for political parties (or lack thereof)? 2) Why does antiparty rhetoric resonate with some citizens, but not with others? The empirical data and statistical regression models used allow the fol…
