Description
Anxious Politics explores how emotional life affects public politics and civic engagement. When anxiety is high, does it change how we respond to politicians and their messages? This book examines four key policy areas - public health, immigration, terrorism, and climate change - to understand the impact of anxiety on our perceptions of politics. The authors argue that political anxiety triggers specific coping strategies in the political world, often shaped by partisan agendas. By analyzing these dynamics, Anxious Politics sheds light on how anxiety influences our consumption of news, trust in politicians, and support for different policies. Through its examination of four policy areas, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between politics and anxiety, highlighting the potential benefits and drawbacks of engagement in anxious times.
