CSES Conference 2019: Democracy Divided?
People, Politicians and the Politics of Populism
Universität Wien, Sky Lounge
Oskar Morgenstern Platz 1, 1090 Vienna
Konferenz
In the last ten years, political systems worldwide have been shaken
by multiple crises and challenges. In Europe, the financial and Euro
crises in the early 2010s were followed by the refugee crisis in 2015,
with radical left and radical right parties showing impressive gains
in subsequent elections. The political system of the United States has
been confronted with the victory of Donald Trump, a candidate who
emerged from outside the traditional party elites. Around the globe,
authoritarian systems challenge the legitimacy of liberal democracy as
the best form of governance.
These developments pose important challenges for scholars of
political behaviour. What makes voters endorse populist and anti-elite
candidates? When do voters develop populist attitudes? What affects
popular support for democracy? These and related questions are at
the heart of current research on voters and parties. This conference will
present recent findings on individual behaviour and attitudes relating
to populism and democracy.
