Collective Action In The Age Of Polycrisis

In an era defined by profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval—termed the "polycrisis"—this book tackles one of the most pressing ethical-political issues of our time: the stalemate in collective action aimed at promoting solidarity and common goods. Through a broadly transdisciplinary approach, the author draws on the full spectrum of social-economic and cultural-historical sciences to explore the conditions for the possible, albeit challenging, success of such collective efforts. This comprehensive analysis is enriched with a wealth of documentary evidence and rigorous quantitative evaluations conducted by the author, engaging in dialogue with the vast contemporary literature on the subject. This book is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of collective action in today's interconnected world.
