Handbook of Progressive Politics

In this engaging Handbook, Alice Mattoni brings together an international team of scholars to provide a multifaceted exploration of progressive politics. Contributing authors expertly discuss progressive politics within contemporary global debates, addressing contentious issues and acknowledging the impact of technological advances on the political landscape.

This Handbook identifies issues central to the progressive agenda, such as climate change, migration, and international conflict, while considering progressive politics in relation to digitalization and datafication. Authors illustrate the tensions within progressive politics, examining the roles of different political and non-political actors, such as social movement organizations. It demonstrates how the interactions and disagreements of these actors reshape the idea of what progressive politics has been, is, and will become in the near future.

This is a compelling resource for scholars of political science, political sociology, social movements and civil society. This Handbook''s interdisciplinary approach also makes it valuable to scholars across media and communication studies, gender politics, and environmental studies who are interested in how their disciplines intersect with progressive politics.
