Panel on populism at
the 2016 ECPR Conference
in Prague
Nicoleta Corbu and Agnieszka Hess, representing Romania
and Poland in the COST Action, will co-chair a panel on
“Populism and the Europeanization of Political Competition”
at this year’s ECPR Conference in Prague, as part of a Section
called “What Europe? Researching Consequences of a Diverse
Europeanization of National Public Spheres”. The panel aims at
answering challenging questions related to the topic of populist
communication, such as: What makes populism appealing
to Europeans and why? How are populist themes covered by
the media? Do media support or hinder populism? Why have
some of Europe’s most renowned populist parties been more
successful than others? The authors who will present papers
come from Romania, Poland, Italy, Germany and Austria.
Cristina Cremonesi, who has recently joined the COST Action and
Elena Negrea-Busuioc, also a member of the COST team, will
contribute papers to the panel.
