Europe's Tidal Waves: Migration and Populism
19th June 2018
King's College London
In recent elections across the EU, parties adopting an anti-immigration stance and making use of a populist rhetoric have been gaining electoral breakthrough. And yet, the connection between the two remains surprisingly under-researched.
Against this backdrop, this one-day workshop aims to innovatively explore the intertwining between migration and populism, to shed light on whether the rise of the latter is caused by, or merely correlated with, the increase of the former in Europe.
Guest speakers include Prof. Leila Simona Talani (Jean Monnet Chair in European Political Economy, King’s College London), and Prof. Daphne Halikiopoulou (University of Reading).
The event is free and open to all, but registration is required at the following link. The programme is available here.
