Why Protemo?
Pride, fear, anxiety, hope, anger, satisfaction, disgust: the impact of emotions on current politics in democracies is far-reaching. This is no less true when it comes to policies that political actors communicate as providing security and protection to citizens, referred to as 'protective policies.' What role do emotions play in this context, and what does this mean for our democratic systems? Coordinated by Saarland University, Germany, the EU-funded research project 'PROTEMO' brings together eight international institutions to enhance our understanding of how emotions matter for policy-making in an age of misinformation and insecurity.
PROTEMO is an inclusive project and does not endorse the political views of any individual institution composing the consortium. The consortium condemns all forms of violence and repudiates the use of science for political manipulation and oppression.
