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会产生强大的政治后果，包括政治更替、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期也有很大差异。在对两个多世纪以来金融危机的政治后果进行的一项新调查中，该项目将全面了解这种变化的原因。它的理论意义在于它的时间依赖性的过程，已在很大程度上被现有的文献忽视的调查：是什么形状的持续时间的政治影响，如何对政府的政策责任的社会预期（重新）塑造金融危机，以及如何这样的期望影响政治和政策的结果？

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?
