This volume presents evidence-based research on citizens’
experiences and reactions to the Great Recession in Europe. How
did European citizen experience and react to the crisis? How are
the experiences of crisis and political responses socially
differentiated? Are some social classes and more deprived groups
particularly hard hit? How did the crisis impact on political
choices? What types of political action did citizens engage in
and why? What were the drivers of populist attitudes and protest
participation? This country-based book explores these important
dynamics as expressed in diverse national contexts, namely
France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, and UK. Each chapter focuses on one of these
countries and employs data from the same survey fielded in 2015.
This volume is of particular relevance for scholars, students,
and practitioners interested in political sociology, comparative
politics and European politics.
