INAUGURAL WORKSHOP

Paris, February 5-6, 2020

Synopsis

The inaugural REDEM workshop was held at Sciences Po/CEVIPOF, and was the first in a series of 16 interdisciplinary workshops and conferences to be organised throughout the project. Its purpose was to introduce the project partners and external participants to each other's work in areas related to the REDEM project. The programme included presentations on the latest social scientific and philosophical research on political abstention and alienation, populism, political parties, referenda and social inequality and their relevance to debates about electoral ethics, democratic legitimacy and the challenges posed by new technologies for political transparency, inclusion and accountability.
