DESCRIPTION:[b]Jan Vogler\, Assistant Professor (Juniorprofessor) in quant
 itative social science at the Department of Politics and Public Administr
 ation [/b] [nl] [nl]\n[b]Do pandemics have lasting consequences for polit
 ical behavior? [/b] [nl] [nl] \n\n[b]Abstract[/b] [nl]\nThe authors addre
 ss this question by examining the consequences of the deadliest pandemic 
 of the last millennium: the Black Death (1347-1351). They claim that pand
 emics can influence politics in the long run if the loss of life is high 
 enough to increase the price of labor relative to other factors of produc
 tion. When this occurs\, labor-repressive regimes\, such as serfdom\, bec
 ome untenable\, which ultimately leads to the development of proto-democr
 atic institutions and associated political cultures that shape modalities
  of political engagement for generations. The authors test their theory b
 y tracing the consequences of the Black Death in German-speaking Central 
 Europe. \n[nl]‘They find that areas hit hardest by that pandemic were mor
 e likely to adopt inclusive political institutions and equitable land own
 ership patterns\, to exhibit electoral behavior indicating independence f
 rom landed elite influence during the transition to mass politics\, and t
 o have significantly lower vote shares for Hitler’s National Socialist Pa
 rty in the Weimar Republic’s fateful 1930 and July 1932 elections. [nl] [
