Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 emergency has made it clear that, for much of the global population, society is divided. Some societies exist in a state of risk and inequality, factors that have increased at the same time that the ability of states to deal with them has decreased. Unfortunately, security and equal conditions cannot be guaranteed for all citizens; the market creates more problems than solutions, and the world of science and technology cannot offer the levels of certainty required by society. Risk might be related to a particular event, future, or uncertainty which can influence, in a positive or negative way, the achievement of certain results, and affect the stability of an individual or an entire organization. Risk is now the global horizon within which, as organizations and as individuals, we move and orient ourselves.
However, political participation constitutes a powerful and scarcely considered democratic infrastructure which can guarantee information, relief, and assistance that are not only material, but constitute the construction and reconstruction of social ties, the voice and protection of abandoned subjects, serve as a reminder of the reality of institutions, and offer support for operators and workers.
This Special Issue is focused on the multiple forms of participation in today's society of risk. Papers considered for inclusion might relate to, but are by no means limited to, the following topics:
- Political risk;
- Political participation;
- Geopolitical risk;
- Risk society and participation;
- Inequality analysis.
