Politicians in Hard Times : Spanish and South European MPs Facing Citizens after the Great Recession Paperback / softback
Edited by Xavier Coller, Leonardo Sanchez-Ferrer
Paperback / softback
Description
This book analyses the Spanish parliamentary elites in a comparative perspective within southern Europe.
What has been the impact of the Great Recession on the configuration of parliaments and the diversity of legislators?
Have new parties delivered better representation of citizens in terms of demographics (gender, age, social class), ideology or political attitudes and beliefs?
This original research is based on a 2018 survey on members of two national chambers and 17 regional parliaments.
Comparing these data with those of a simultaneous survey carried out on Spanish citizens and with data from previous research a decade ago, the book examines the changes that have occurred in representation during the course of the Great Recession and provides evidence of the growing distance between citizens and parliamentary elites.
Additionally, using data from the Comparative Candidates Survey, the book compares the ideological congruence between citizens and their representatives in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece.
