DARK POLITICS - ALESSANDRO NAI JÜRGEN MAIER TAS...

Drawing on new data from 100 recent elections  post-election surveys  and original experimental
evidence  Alessandro Nai and Jürgen Maier provide the first large-scale comparative
investigation into the darker sides of human personality in politicians. They show that dark
traits are acutely present in populists  go hand in hand with more aggressive forms of campaign
rhetoric  and are particularly appreciated by voters with dark personality traits. Dark traits
can sometimes be electorally successful  and tend to be associated with a better economic
performance. However  dark leaders can lead to increased cynicism in the public  democratic
deconsolidation  and even a poorer response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall  Dark Politics
provides a new way to understand contemporary politics by looking at the crucial role of dark
personality traits in leaders and voters.
