Project: Accountability in Post-Crisis Politics: Decision-making, Discourse and Democracy - PoCriPo
Funding Source: FCSH/NOVA
Participant Institutions: IPRI-NOVA
Timeframe: June 2015 - May 2017
Abstract: This project aims to shed light on the changes in political decision-making processes across Europe in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Crisis responses have challenged traditional parliamentary-democratic ideals such as accountability, representation and deliberation. As a result, taking a multi-disciplinary and comparative perspective, this project seeks to address the concentration of power, looking particularly at locations (arenas), processes (institutional and discursive) and long-term impact.
