Techno-Populism: The New Logic of European Politics

A Talk by Carlo Invernizzi Accetti, Assistant Professor of Political Science, The City College of New York 

European party politics has traditionally been understood in terms of a struggle between left and right ideological poles. Yet, recent developments have seen the emergence of a variety of actors and movements that do not seem to fit these categories, from Italy’s Five-Star Movement, to Spain’s Ciudadanos, and France’s La République en Marche. In different ways, all these new actors and movements combine an anti-establishment ‘populist’ appeal with ‘technocratic’ claims to expertise. As such, they point to a new structuring logic of contemporary European politics, whereby the combination of populist and technocratic elements replaces the ideological struggle between left and right. Carlo Invernizzi Accetti will examine some of the causes, as well as potential consequences, of the rise of ‘techno-populism’ as the new structuring logic of contemporary European politics.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
