This volume uses the Portuguese case as an important case study to examine the long-term debate on the crisis of representative democracies with the attempt to assess the impact of the Great Recession. In particular, this study examines two relevant dimensions, namely citizens’ participation and mobilization, as well as longitudinal evolution of the linkages between voters and MPs, highlighting both continuities and changes. Through a wide and rich data collection and the comparative perspective adopted, this study furthers our understanding of how Portuguese democracy has bounced back and has emerged as a peculiar case among European democracies, especially if we look at innovate democratic practices - at both citizens’ and elites’ level – that have been adopted after the Great Recession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Why Portugal did constitute an exceptional case among bailout countries during the Great Recession? This distinguished team of Portuguese political scientists provides several answers to this question, thoroughly analyzing how citizens and parliamentary representation interacted before and after the financial crisis. This book is an extraordinary example of how democracies overcome difficult crises and are able to display institutional stability, economic sustainability, and political success.” -- José Ramón Montero, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridging the gap?
