SUMMER SCHOOL Socio-political crisis and new governance challenges Rome 15th-18th of June 2015 Presentation In a historic phase of liquid modernity as Bauman calls it, societies undergo through fast and continuous changes. Established ways of life, thinking, acting, are undermined by a fast moving process of globalized change forcing us to face new problems and, as it usually happens during historical phases of transition, the new coagulation of social, political, economic and democratic forms that will overcome the old ones, seem yet unclear. The economic crisis biting the average family as well as small and large enterprises goes along with a crisis of political and institutional authority in many Countries. Creating a climate of uncertainty and distrust that seems to represent a threat for the democratic fiber of these nations. Changing social, economic and productive structures entail a change in the political sphere too. Social and political scientists are registering a shift in the role of political parties, and new actors and "milieus" appear on the decision making scene on one hand while on the other, traditional mass political organizations seem no longer fit to adequately represent the needs of a fast moving globalized society. The Summer School in Socio-political crisis and new governance challenges will be organized as a residential, full immersion school, completed by a two days International Conference at the end. Students and Professors from all over the world will leave together, on the same premises where classes will be taught. The Summer School will highlight dynamics, main issues and possible outcomes of current sociopolitical trends, providing the students with the means of analysis that will help them deal with the
challenges brought by a fast changing world, as future scholars, political or private sector professionals. We welcome applications from students who have completed at least a first degree course in any of the Social Sciences fields, Master and Ph.D students, Post-Docs, as well as professionals working in public administrations, or in the political or private sector. Seminars and conferences will be held in English.
