Since 2008 many European states have experienced significant
challenges in adapting to austerity, and political actors within
these states have made significant changes in their discourses and
practices. This book explores the short-term impact of the
sovereign debt crisis on aspects of political representation in
Greece and Portugal, two of the countries that have been the most
severely affected. It provides the most systematic examination to
date of the attitudinal change of voters and elites regarding
participation and representation, and of the legitimacy of the
political system in two of the bailed-out Eurozone states. By
examining the congruence between elites and voters, the shift in
the patterns of competition, and the position of both citizens and
representatives on the main issues, the studies contribute towards
a reassessment of the validity of the responsible party model and
of theories about democratic accountability. By relying on original
mass and elite surveys conducted both before and after the
bailouts, the volume helps us understand how the EU/IMF
intervention has affected partisan alignments in Greece and
Portugal, as well as the differences and similarities in the way
political elites and civil society have adapted to severe
austerity. This book was originally published as a special issue of
South European Society & Politics.
