The rise of political entrepreneurs in Europe

What does it mean for left parties?

FEPS and Karl–Renner-Institut will be organising the fourth iteration of the Next Left Lecture. The lecture ‘The Rise of Political Entrepreneurs in Europe: What Does it Mean for Left Parties?’ will be presented by Prof. Catherine E. De Vries, Dean of international affairs and Professor of Political Science at Bocconi University. 

The Next Left Lecture and strategic colloquium are the new features of one of the longest-existing FEPS initiatives, the Next Left Research Programme. The latter has been run since 2009 with the support of Karl–Renner-Institut and many other FEPS members, with the ambition to contribute to progressive thinking, propose innovative paths, and help reinforce social democrats on the local, regional, national, European and global levels.
