A report from researchers at the University of Cambridge found a global rise in democratic 'malaise.' The subsequent rise in populism is 'less a cause' and 'more a symptom,' they say.
Global dissatisfaction in democratic politics is at an all-time high, affecting almost 6 in 10 people worldwide. This dissatisfaction, or malaise,"foreshadowed the election of Donald Trump," according to researchers at the University of Cambridge in the U.K." report from the university's newly-established Centre for the Future of Democracy.
"Rising dissatisfaction with democracy in the United States foreshadowed the election of Donald J. Trump," lead author Roberto Foa from Cambridge's Department of Politics and International Studies toldPrior to the 2008 crash, more than three-quarters of Americans were happy with the democratic system. By the 2016 election, roughly half of U.S. citizens were dissatisfied.
Democratic malaise appears to be a response to"objective circumstances and events," like an economic shock or a political scandal. The 2008 crash and 2015 refugee crisis had global reverberations, producing an immediate and observable effect on dissatisfaction levels, the researchers say.said"Without this weakening legitimacy, it would be unthinkable for a U.S.
The report highlighted Mexico, Brazil, Moldova, Peru, Columbia, Ukraine and Venezuela as countries where democracy is"in crisis." Countries that had the lowest levels of democratic faith in the nineties experienced democratic erosion over the next decade, frequently as a result of elected strongmen.
