Recenzii
Bickerton and Invernizzi Accetti offer a compelling analysis of the democratic predicament. They also raise important questions about why political ideologies have lost their influence, why political parties have become so disconnected, and why democratic institutions rely so heavily on the existence of intermediates between the voters, politicians and public policy ... Technopopulism is a great provocation that leaves the reader wanting even more help in understanding the challenges democratic systems are facing.
This is interpretive political science at its best: it combines conceptual innovation, a deep familiarity with historical cases and the details of contemporary politics, with a sense of normative urgency
a novel and significant contribution to the vibrant debate about the pros and cons of populism.
Technopopulism's virtue is in weaving a convincing explanatory narrative by connecting a vast array of dots...a refreshing and unusually audacious book... [it] represents an irreversible advance in our understanding of our present historical period... It is simply not possible to go on thinking as before about our current moment after digesting Bickerton and Invernizzi Accetti's concept of Technopopulism.
an ambitious and invaluable attempt at concept formation, the concept of tehcnopopulism, in order to make sense of contemporary democratic politics.
an ambitious work, which makes considerable progress in studies on the transformations of contemporary democracies.
This conceptually innovative book helps us understand one of the peculiar political phenomena of our day: the convergence of technocracy and populism. It is also excellent in making sense of larger developments in contemporary European politics, and it contains an important normative theory of why democracies cannot do without political parties.
This excellent book achieves two important results: it fills a void of knowledge and names a key contemporary political phenomenon. In decoding the common grammar that underpins both populism and technocracy, it sheds new light on the present crisis of our representative democracies.
A remarkably original and illuminating work, from which both political scientists and politicians can learn an immense amount
This first-rate study shows how one of the main challenges to party democracy comes from within. As Bickerton and Invernizzi Accetti lucidly explain, rather than caught between technocrats and populists, elected representatives today are imitating and blending their claims, hoping to strengthen their own legitimacy. 'Technopopulism' is where it leads: the book offers an excellent account of the trends unfolding and the normative questions at stake.
