“…For starters, incumbent parties suffered electoral costs as a result of the Eurozone crisis (Dassonneville and Lewis-Beck 2014;Hernandez andKriesi, 2016, Giuliani andMassari, 2019;Lobo and Pannico, 2020). This can be interpreted as a classic "punishment of the incumbent" effect, in which negative economic trends take center stage in public discourse.…”

“…Using data from the 2009 European Election Studies (EES), Lobo and Lewis-Beck (2012) discovered that heightened perceptions of European Union economic responsibility reduce the amount of the national economic vote coefficient. Lobo and Pannico (2020) also discovered that during the crisis, people who read publications with a higher level of EU coverage used economic voting less.…”

The purpose of this article is to examine the politicization of the European issue in the aftermath of the Eurozone crisis, with a focus on the impact on individual opinions and voting at the national and supranational levels. We begin by reviewing the current state of knowledge on the significance of the Eurozone crisis for EU politicization, before summarizing each paper and its contribution. While our contributors may focus on different dependent variables at times, they all address the subject of whether the Great Recession had a long-term impact and whether EU politicization is important. Most of the papers are longitudinal in nature, looking for changes as a result of the crisis. However, papers reviewing the political lessons learned from the Great Recession, as well as those examining whether EU effects can be discovered throughout the post-crisis years, are preoccupied with the Great Recession. Despite the disparities in methodologies and findings, each piece contributes to a major topic in the literature, particularly three key issues that have emerged: the influence of the crisis on European party systems, economic voting, and the degree of legitimacy of democratic institutions.

“…The ‘bailout packages’ and austerity policies adopted by the national governments but imposed by other actors – such as the European Commission (EC) and European Central Bank (ECB) – increased the negative image of the EU and contributed to the creation of several anti-EU parties. Furthermore, they led voters to greater awareness of the EU economic constraints over national economic policies (Lobo and Pannico, 2020). The ballot box was a unique opportunity for voters to express their negative feelings and ‘punish’ the EU for being ‘responsible’.…”

The regions of the European Union are currently experiencing a period of seismic change that has transformed their established voting patterns and increased anti–European Union voting. Applying objective economic measures, spatial econometrics and municipal voting data from recent elections and a referendum, this study examines the factors shaping anti–European Union votes in Greece. The results indicate a strong link between the country’s changing economic geography and the geography of the anti–European Union vote, providing evidence not only of the ‘geography of discontent’ and the ‘left-behind hypothesis’ but also of the ‘geography of austerity’ associated with the heterogeneous effects of fiscal consolidation and austerity policies.

“…Conversely, under the assumption that financial markets are prospective, the cost and size of debt depend on expectations of political stability. In this way, the expectations of the lenders can lead not only to a financial crisis but also to a collapse of the government (Lobo & Pannico, 2020). If lenders believe that the stability of the incumbent government is in doubt and operate under uncertainty, they set high interest rates, thus increasing political distortions and leading to default on debt payments.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the energy crisis, food and recession as a challenge and opportunity in the global world towards endemic. This research uses qualitative research with descriptive analysis approach. The types of data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. Presentation of data using qualitative methods. This study shows that the disappearance of a system based on the free play of market players supported by weak regulatory management has been marked by the massive paralysis of private investment in the energy and food sectors on a global scale, particularly gas and electricity. The effect is yet to be seen due to a significant economic recession, but it is unknown to experts that in 2023 there will be a recession. The recent economic recovery has led to an increase in energy demand and the first effects of the crisis are imminent, this of course due to the protracted war between Russia and Ukraine. The current government is late in reacting to problems that have structural characteristics that are impossible to solve in the short term.
