Political crises, such as economic downturns or social unrest, can significantly influence governance by prompting leaders to reevaluate policies and engage with public concerns. These crises can undermine legitimacy and trust in authorities, necessitating responsive action. In times of crisis, governments may adopt extraordinary measures, reshape policymaking, and mobilize resources to restore order or address grievances. However, poorly managed crises can lead to prolonged instability and erosion of democratic norms, fostering conditions for authoritarian responses. Thus, crises are critical junctures that can redefine governance trajectories and citizen relationships.
