Elections are the primary channel for political leaders to gain power in democracies. Amid concerns about the state of democracy around the world, Angelo Vito Panaro contends that in the 2024 elections, democratic regimes performed relatively well in comparison with autocracies
Unprecedented anti-government protests spread across Kazakhstan in January 2022, andwere only quelled through a military solution. Angelo Vito Panaro argues that, despite the outcome, the protests expose the inherent fragility of the autocratic regime and the strength of public support for a democratic alternative
The American presidential elections, and the refusal of President Trump to recognise the result on the basis of unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud have resulted in the social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook, taking unprecedented initiatives against misinformation and false accusations, thus helping to safeguard American democracy, writes Angelo Vito Panaro
His research interests include authoritarianism, democratic backsliding, comparative welfare states, social policy, global redistribution, and socio-economic inequality.
He has published in journals including Democratization, Contemporary Politics, Review of Policy Research, Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy, Italian Political Science Review, and Italian Political Science.
Angelo holds a PhD in political science from Scuola Normale Superiore.
