Abstract

The panel aims to increase our understanding of affective polarization's role in shaping - or damaging - the functioning of democracies. This includes their tolerance for electoral misconduct in the pursuit of victory, the exacerbation of partisan sentiments through perceived corruption, and the ensuing effects on political trust and cynicism. These papers focus on the intricate ways in which affective polarization can both erode and reshape the democratic landscape.
