Alla metà degli anni settanta, la prima di una serie di crisi economiche colpiva le democrazie occidentali, sottoponendo a sfide più o meno severe le loro strutture e le loro capacità politico-istituzionali. Del tema si è occupata un'intera letteratura, che ha fornito ragguardevoli contributi alla conoscenza del contenuto e dell'efficacia delle risposte di singoli paesi o gruppi di paesi e degli adattamenti/mutamenti subiti dalle società e dagli attori interessati. In questo articolo, viene tracciato un bilancio della materia, aggiornato con informazioni e spiegazioni che si estendono fino alla metà degli anni novanta e coprono diciassette paesi.

Summary

Summary

The main topic is how Lijphart's majoritarian and consensus models of democracy have coped with the 1975-1995 economic crisis. Building upon the body of the available literature, the Author discusses several methodological and technical problems involved, proposes a new classification of the countries concerned, and tests it against an extensive battery (six indicators) of macroeconomic data. Contrary to previous findings, the results show that majoritarian regimes score better than the competing model on all relevant variables, including those typically associated with the (socialdemocratic) consensus democracies (i.e., unemployment).
