Given that different typologies of emergency can wield different effects on the political system, DEMOPE will compare the main crises that Italy and EU countries faced over the last two decades spanning from economic crises, migrant crisis, climate change, COVID-19 and wars.

DEMOPE will investigate whether crises lead to change and, if so, how do they change politics, trying to disentangle short term and long term effects and to evaluate whether crises produce stable changes or, conversely, politics returns to its routine equilibrium in the long run.
