Abstract

This panel brings together papers that examine how citizens engage with politics in threatening contexts. Threat conditions reactions to government policies, mitigates processes of integration and generates emotionality that affects how citizens respond to political crises. The absense of threat, generated by homogeneity, facilitates engagement and voluntary action.
