Overview

Modern Political Culture- Ideas and Discourses in Context from Maastricht University seeks to address fundamental questions: what are the origins of the most pressing political problems of our time? What drives social and political change, and what inhibits it? Why do our political cultures operate in the ways they do? Who defines which topics are politicised, and why? How have societies dealt with problems around political identity, organisation, mobilisation, conflict and violence, and what can we learn from them?
