crises and transformations

political and civic responses to crises dynamics

Party replacement and programmatic volatility. From Borbáth 2021.
One area of my research focuses on the transformative role of crises dynamics. In my current research I examine the political and civic responses to the COVID-19 crisis in Europe. The main part of this work is embedded in the SolZiv project.

Previously, as a member of the ERC project POLCON – Political Conflict in Europe in the Shadow of the Great Recession I studied the political responses to the 2008 Great Recession and following Eurozone crisis. I wrote my PhD dissertation in the framework of the POLCON project.
