Diagnosing Discontent
JRC Working Paper Series For a Fair, Innovative and Sustainable Economy, 14/2025
The paper argues for a broader approach to understanding the growth of political discontent. It deploys a market analogy to distinguish between demand-side factors (unwelcome economic and cultural change), supply-side factors (political strategies, including populism) and marketplace factors (digitalisation and fragmentation of media). The paper concludes that a defence of democratic processes and institutions will require policymakers and researchers to pay attention to all of these elements across the political market.
