RESEARCH WORKSHOP
Populist Attitudes in Comparative Perspective
In recent years, scholars increasingly devoted their intention to describing and analyzing populist attitudes, voters and parties. Yet, in many instances these insights remained specific to the distinctive fields of research. The workshop, scheduled on June 13th 2018, was designed to integrate ideas and explanations from various fields, i.e. political science, sociology, social psychology and communication science.
