Representative democracies are facing huge challenges that stem
from long trends of citizens' dissatisfaction and weakening of
political legitimacy, on the one hand, and the effects of global
economic and financial crisis on electoral alignments and the
patterns of government, on the other. This volume uses the
Portuguese case as an important case study to examine the long-term
debate on the crisis of representative democracies with the attempt
to assess the impact of the Great Recession. In particular, this
study examines two relevant dimensions, namely citizens'
participation and mobilization, as well as longitudinal evolution
of the linkages between voters and MPs, highlighting both
continuities and changes. Through a wide and rich data collection
and the comparative perspective adopted, this study furthers our
understanding of how Portuguese democracy has bounced back and has
emerged as a peculiar case among European democracies, especially
if we look at innovate democratic practices - at both citizens' and
elites' level - that have been adopted after the Great Recession.
