While a global trend towards backsliding has been widely perceived, this study is motivated by the observations that (a) there have been strong pushbacks among democracies against illiberal populism and (b) little has been done to study the resilience and/or fragility of autocratic regimes whose inherent weaknesses were exposed by the pandemic. With the help of a newly developed dataset covering elections and referendums across Europe and Africa at the national level in 2020 and 2021, the main contribution of the paper is two-fold: (1) to ascertain which factors mitigated the health and political risks posed by the pandemic irrespective of regime types in both regions, and (2) to take advantage of the most different systems design to shed light on not only the extent to which electoral integrity was adversely affected by the crisis, but also how European Union and African Union nations overwhelmed by the pandemic performed in their respective context"},{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"V kolikor je bila pandemija Covid-19 moteča sila, ki je spodkopala vladovanje med režimi, naj bi svetovna zdravstvena kriza še pospešila procese nazadovanja demokracije in pospešila procese avtokratizacije. Medtem ko je bil zaznan globalni trend nazadovanja, je prispevek motiviran z opažanji, da (a) je prišlo do močnega odpora med demokracijami proti neliberalnemu populizmu in (b) da je bilo malo storjenega za preučevanje odpornosti in/ali krhkosti avtokratskih režimov, katerih prirojene slabosti je razkrila pandemija. S pomočjo novorazvitega nabora podatkov, ki zajema volitve in referendume po Evropi in Afriki na nacionalni ravni v letih 2020 in 2021, je temeljni prispevek članka dvojen: (1) ugotoviti, kateri dejavniki so ublažili povzročena zdravstvena in politična tveganja zaradi pandemije ne glede na vrste režimov na obeh kontinentih in (2) izkoristiti najrazličnejše zasnove sistemov, da bi osvetlili ne le obseg, v katerem je kriza negativno vplivala na volilno integriteto, ampak tudi, koliko in zakaj so bile med pandemijo (pre)obremenjene države evropske in afriške unije"}],"edm:type":"TEXT","dc:type":[{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"znanstveno časopisje"},{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"journals"},{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785"}]},"ore:Aggregation":{"@rdf:about":"http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:DOC-T5RDH227","edm:aggregatedCHO":{"@rdf:resource":"URN:NBN:SI:DOC-T5RDH227"},"edm:isShownBy":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-T5RDH227/518491b6-a867-4896-a2e0-2930eff2cc2d/PDF"},"edm:rights":{"@rdf:resource":"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"},"edm:provider":"Slovenian National E-content Aggregator","edm:intermediateProvider":{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"National and University Library of Slovenia"},"edm:dataProvider":{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Univerza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede"},"edm:object":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-T5RDH227/maxi/edm"},"edm:isShownAt":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-T5RDH227"}}}}
