Abstract

This panel explores the emotional dynamics behind grievance politics and democratic change. Drawing from political psychology, the discussions examine how emotions such as resentment, anger, disgust, spite, ressentiment, drive political demands, party support, and modes of participation. With insights from recent research, it offers a comprehensive understanding of how the emotionality of grievance politics influences political behavior and societal transformations in unstable times.
