Political Ideologies Special Issue

The Centre for Research into Ideas and the Study of Political Ideologies (CRISPI) is delighted to annouce the publication of a special issue of the Journal of Political Ideologies dedicated to 'Norberto Bobbio: a life for democracy on the battlefield of ideologies'. 

The Special Issue is based on a conference that first took place in CRISPI on the 11 June 2021. Norberto Bobbio (1909-2004) was one of Italy’s leading post-war political and democratic theorists, but his work remains little-known in the anglophone world. This conference proposed to bridge that gap by looking anew at Bobbio’s decades-long study of political ideologies, past and present, in an attempt to retrieve its transnational dimension, emphasise its connection to key historical and political developments, and unearth its theoretical and practical relevance.
