What determines the political consequences of financial crises? Ideas, institutions, and society over the long run

最近的金融危机往往产生了强大的政治后果，包括政治更迭、两极分化加剧和社会动荡；但这些后果在不同国家和不同时间也有很大不同。在一项对两个世纪以来金融危机的政治后果进行的新颖调查中，这个项目将对这种变化的原因进行全面的理解。它的理论意义在于它研究了被现有文献基本上忽视的时间依赖过程：是什么决定了政治影响的持续时间，金融危机如何塑造了社会对政府政策责任(Re)的预期，以及这种预期如何影响政治和政策结果？

Recent financial crises have often had powerful political consequences, including political turnover, rising polarisation and social unrest; but these consequences also vary greatly across countries and over time. In a novel investigation of the political aftermaths of financial crises over two centuries, this project will develop a comprehensive understanding of the causes of this variation. Its theoretical significance lies in its investigation of time-dependent processes that have been largely ignored by existing literature: what shapes the duration of political effects, how are societal expectations about government policy responsibilities (re)shaped by financial crises, and how do such expectations affect political and policy outcomes?
