“Behavioral science for the win!”: using social psychology to design more effective policies in response to global crises by Dr. Jais Adam-Troian

"Over the past decade, the West has been rocked by a number of global crises. This series began with the resurgence of mass migration and Islamist terrorism after the Syrian revolution in 2011, which sparked a wave of illiberal populism in the EU and the US. The situation continued to deteriorate after the first invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and Brexit in 2016. The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic caused further destabilization, and the peak period of change came in 2022, with the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
