POLCrises@Europe
Studying crises during the crisis
I was the Head of the Research Unit of the University of Naples Federico II (where I was affiliated at that time)
for the 2015 PRIN project financed by the Italian Minister for Higher Education (PRIN 2015P7RCL5) (€ 464.922)
Politics and Policy in Europe in times of crisis: causes and consequences
University partners: Milano (Principal Investigator), Siena, S. Anna Pisa, SNS, UniTelma Roma, Napoli, and Catania.
This project aimed to analyze the Great Recession's impact on the political and policy dynamics in the European context.
The three work packages, which involve research groups across 7 Italian universities, focus respectively
on the input side of the political system (analyzing the process of political representation, parties and movements, and electoral behavior),
on the institutional black box (mainly legislatures and executives, and on their relationship in diverse settings),
and on the output side (investigating the capacity to adopt structural reforms, and analyzing taxation, labor, pension, and health policies).
