Populism and Accountability.Interdisciplinary Researches on Active Citizenship

This work aims to contribute to the scientific debate about active citizenship. Citizenship is connected to the various dynamics of “populism.” The term populism lends itself to different interpretations, and the authors of chapters in the book have tried to consider it from different points of view. The result is an analysis that addresses the different aspects of the issue. This book is the result of a joint project between the Center for Research in Politics and Human Rights, University Institute of Sophia (IUS), and Department of Management, University of Bologna, that is entitled: “Research itineraries on active citizenship and populism: Accountability and interdisciplinary approaches” (2020–2022). Furthermore, the debate that emerges from the book also has the aim of raising internal and external awareness around the topics covered by the research and a new culture for social and economic action through in-depth analysis of the topics: active citizenship, change in systems and organizations, sustainability, and the civil econ omy, which is ongoing on populism, from an interdisciplinary point of view. It considers the application of organizational impact of models in relation to the main theories in the various disciplines involved.
