Financial Crisis, Austerity, And Electoral Politics: European Voter Responses To The Global Economic Collapse 2009-2013 - 9781138856783

This book examines the domestic electoral consequences of the economic crisis in Europe, particularly in countries where the crisis manifested itself more severely: Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Iceland and Ireland. Besides looking at individual-level survey data, examining the major causes of voting behaviour and how they compare with previous elections, the chapters look at the different ways in which the crisis affected campaign strategies in each country, as incumbents attempted to frame events and proposals so as to alter responsibility for economic outcomes. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties.
