CIVICA RESEARCH WELDECO – FINAL EVENT
The CIVICA WELDECO research is devoted to analyse the relationship between populism, welfare and health policies, and democratic backsliding in the particular context of the Covid19 pandemic. Our collaborative research applies an interdisciplinary approach across social policy, political economy, and comparative politics in order to examine the content of policy responses to the pandemic as well as vital aspects of populist policy-making, such as procedures and discourse in a diverse set of countries including Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, Hungary and Poland. In line with our interdisciplinary approach, we developed a three-dimensional analysis of policy responses to the pandemic employing (and partially constructing) governance, public health and welfare generosity indices. Our comparative analysis contributes to a new theorising of varieties of populist governance under the current era of crises. This final event is aimed to share and critically debate our findings.
