Abstract

How does economic hardship during a crisis affect people’s evaluation of the political leadership? In this paper, we investigate how the negative impact of an exogenous event like COVID-19 interacts with other important phenomena which influence leadership approval, such as partisanship, political trust, and satisfaction with democracy. Using a nationally representative survey in Indonesia (N = 1,200), we show that economic hardship does not uniformly undermine leadership approval; rather, this effect is moderated by partisanship and by satisfaction with the functioning of democracy. Of the people who voted for President Jokowi in the 2019 election, those who faced economic hardship gave him lower levels of approval than those who were better-off. At the same time, those satisfied with the functioning of democracy in the country reported higher approval even if they faced economic hardship. We discuss the policy implications of our findings and provide a theoretical framework for the mechanisms that affect leadership approval during a crisis.

政治信任、民主满意度与党派关系

危机期间的经济困难如何影响人们对政治领导的评价?在本文中，我们研究了像COVID-19这样的外生事件的负面影响如何与影响领导批准的其他重要现象相互作用，如党派关系、政治信任和对民主的满意度。通过在印度尼西亚进行的一项具有全国代表性的调查(N = 1200)，我们发现，经济困难并不一定会降低对领导人的支持率;相反，党派之争和对民主运作的满意缓和了这种影响。在2019年大选中投票给佐科维总统的人中，那些面临经济困难的人对他的支持率低于那些富裕的人。与此同时，那些对该国民主运作感到满意的人表示，即使面临经济困难，他们的支持率也更高。我们讨论了研究结果的政策含义，并为危机期间影响领导批准的机制提供了理论框架。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
