Economic crises can profoundly impact political stability by destabilizing governments and eroding public trust. Economic downturns often lead to rising unemployment, inflation, and social unrest. Citizens facing economic hardship may become disillusioned with their government, leading to protests, political polarization, or the rise of extremist parties. In some cases, crises can provoke significant political reforms or changes in leadership as populations demand accountability and better governance. The relationship between economics and politics is critical for understanding overall stability.
