What does “populism” mean? How can we identify the advantages and disadvantages of populist rhetoric? Today populism is an extremely popular topic in political debates, yet not everyone can easily recognize the main features that identify and link its exponents. That’s why HIKMA is offering a workshop fully dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of the 21st-century populist phenomena. In a brand-new collaboration with Team Populism from Brigham Young University -collaborators of The Guardian and specialized in populist studies - the workshop will discuss populist rhetoric and the different methods to uncover it in public speeches. Professor Bruno Castanho Silvia – PhD student, a current researcher for the University of Cologne, and leader of Team Populism’s “Text Analysis” – will join us to present the history of populism, its main aspects, and the leaders who most embodied its distinctive features. At the end of the workshop, not only you will have deepened the history and profiles of famous populist characters, but you will have also recognized current politicians who still use this type of rhetoric.

The Big Tech Giants

On Saturday 20th our conference on the hidden interweaving of the Big Techs will take place and you are invited! The relationship between the giants of the digital space and politics is increasingly close, yet ambiguous. Together with Stefano Epifani, Tommaso Valletti and Nicola Bilotta, we will try to investigate their social, institutional and environmental declinations to understand better the nuances of a world that is not always in black and white. Such a multifaceted theme has not only draw the attention of economists and leaders but also of politicians, philosophers and scholars. It has now become fundamental to reflect on the relationship between these fully-fledged monopolies and socio-political institutions, as well as on the impact of these giants on the increasingly urgent economic and environmental sustainability. This is why HIKMA wants you to join such a mind-opening experience, share your curiosity and critic opinions, and better understand where safe and sustainable technological development should start.

Michael Leigh & Gabriele Pastrello, “Inside Out: the Brexit conflict
between leave and remain”

Although it has happened four years ago, the debate over Brexit still inflames the political arena, both in and out of the UK. Which scenarios are now foreseeable?
In una conferenza anglo-italiana, i due esperti hanno fatto il punto su un evento cruciale per l’Unione Europea, un tema ampiamente dibattuto, e troppo spesso in maniera farraginosa, esponendo agli studenti gli aspetti cruciali della Brexit e prospettando i possibili scenari futuri.

AdPI 2019: Accademia di
Politica Internazionale
27 settembre 2019
Una giornata di scambio culturale, di conoscenze ma anche di emozioni ed esperienze.
Innanzitutto le conferenze che hanno riempito la mattinata e il pomeriggio: si è parlato di Europa e Africa, della geopolitica e della geoeconomica mondiale e del sistema democratico nel ventunesimo secolo.
Ma Hikma è anche questo: un pranzo tra studenti e relatori emeriti, momento di confronto e svago, utile per scambiare opinioni ed esperienze tra una fetta di pizza e un contorno.

nello Scacchiere Internazionale.
Un’area contesa tra Russia e Cina”

La Cina sta rivestendo in questo momento storico un ruolo geopolitico preponderante: ma attenzione a non sottovalutare gli attori rimanenti sulla scena.
Perché la Russia di Putin sembra determinata a riprendersi tutto quello che è suo.
