This book examines the domestic electoral consequences of the
economic and financial crisis in Europe, particularly in those
countries where the crisis manifested itself more devastatingly:
the Southern European countries of Greece, Italy, Portugal, and
Spain, as well as Iceland and Ireland. On the surface, the
electoral consequences of the crisis seem largely similar, having
resulted, in these countries, in large electoral losses for
incumbents, as the most elementary versions of "economic voting"
theory would have us expect. However, behind this fundamental
similarity, important differences emerge. Whilst in some cases, on
the basis of post-election surveys, it is possible to see that the
"crisis elections" followed a previous pattern of
performance-oriented voters, with no major changes either in known
predictors of electoral choices or in basic party system
properties, other elections brought the emergence of new parties,
new issues and cleavages, altering patterns of political
competition. By examining these different outcomes by comparing the
"crisis elections" with previous ones, this book takes into account
their timing relative to different stages of crisis. It also
scrutinises party strategies and campaign dynamics, particularly as
governments attempted (and sometimes succeeded) in framing events
and proposals so as to apportion responsibility for economic
outcomes. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties.
