Qualidem

A qualitative (re-) appraisal of how policies shape democratic linkages in Western democracies

The QUALIDEM project offers a qualitative (re)appraisal of citizens’ (dis-)affection towards politics by relying on the core argument of the policy feedback literature: attitudes and behaviours are outcomes of past policy. It aims to explain the evolutions of democratic linkages –political trust, political support, loyalty, formal and informal participation –as being shaped by public policy, and specifically by the turn to neoliberalism and supranationalisation.
