How does the current surge in populist electo ral results compare to historical antecedents? What ‘caused’ the present d isillusionment with democratic institutions? What is the role played by so cio-economic precariousness and disenfranchisement in citizens’ experience s of democratic politics? Who and what has been eroding public processes o f democratic deliberation? Is it ‘globalization’\, ‘the internet’ and soci al media? Is it information overflow\, online hatred and ‘fake news’?  \n \nHow can we trace back the origins of the current crisis? Is today’s exha ustion of democratic collective self-governance the result of post-Welfare State neoliberal policies? Was the post-1970s rise of individualism\, res ponsibilization and income inequality – the 99% problem – inevitable? Is i t reversible? \n\nSpeakers\n\nProfessor em.
