Libro

Attraverso il contributo di numerosi esperti di storia e scienza politica, il volume propone una riflessione sul ruolo dei populismi nel contesto storico-politico dell’Europa degli ultimi venticinque anni e sulla risposta delle forze politiche contemporanee alla sfida populista. Accanto a contributi di taglio teorico dedicati agli aspetti definitori e teorici del fenomeno, sono analizzate le principali esperienze politiche di stampo populista che negli ultimi decenni hanno segnato la politica italiana, austriaca e tedesca, nonché le reazioni che i partiti politici europei di ispirazione democratico-cristiana, socialdemocratica, verde e liberale hanno ​riservato alla proposta populista.

Recensioni

- "Die Stärke des Sammelbandes liegt [...] in der Darstellung der jeweiligen nationalen Kontexte, wobei die Autoren deutlich machen, dass die populistischen Parteien in den drei untersuchten Staaten deswegen erfolgreich sind, weil sie Antworten auf deren je spezifiche Traditionen und je spezifischen Schwächen und Leerstellen zu bieten scheinen." - Christiane Liermann, Der unmögliche Forschungsgegenstand, in "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", 13.11.2018;

- "Nel volume, i temi affrontati sono trattati con particolare cura e perizia, e non mancano puntuali e ricchi riferimenti bibliografici di approfondimento; ai curatori va riconosciuto il merito di aver proposto, oltre alla usuale introduzione, una breve conclusione al testo, non sempre considerata una necessità per i lavori che sono il frutto di una rielaborazione di relazioni congressuali." - G. Barbieri, in "Il pensiero politico" (52/1 2019), pp. 178-181;
