How Is terrorism changing us?: threat perception and political attitudes in the age of terror
"This is an elegant and magisterial treatment of the matter of our times. The insights contained in this important book will be invaluable for psychologists and political scientists and for political analysts, practitioners and commentators. The book will also serve as a superb starting point for students and lay readers seeking a readable, but always scholarly, introduction of a psychological approach to political events. Not all journalists and politicians will welcome the author's policy recommendations but all of them need to read it."--Craig McGarty, Western Sydney University, Australia "This book provides compelling evidence on the ways in which terrorist violence undermines multicultural democracies in Australia, Europe, and the United States and rips at the very fabric of liberal democracy. Vergani arrives at this conclusion through the analysis of survey data and focused experiments informed intellectually by a rich blend of psychological, sociological, and political thinking."--Leonie Huddy, Stony Brook University, USA "Matteo Vergani's book provides a comparative analysis of a troubling phenomenon especially in established democracies and it is a valuable resource for grasping the complex array of causes underlying it. This is a smart and timely must read for those interested in the consequences of terrorism on political attitudes and opinion climates."--Gianpietro Mazzoleni, University of Milan, Italy How does the threat of terrorist violence undermine multicultural democracies? What are the psychological and social mechanisms that explain how the threat of terrorism can change political attitudes? What is the role of media in shaping the perception of terrorism threat? And what are the ethical responsibilities of journalists? This book presents analysis of survey data and experimental evidence collected in Australia, Europe and the United States, and discusses how terrorism erodes civil liberties, sows doubt about the loyalties of immigrants, and heightens the left-right ideological divide. Matteo Vergani is a postdoctoral researcher at Deakin University. His research focuses on political violence, its causes, its impact on society, and the study of what might prevent it.

Local political subcultures and party activism in Italy: The case of the Democratic Party
In: Party politics: an international journal for the study of political parties and political organizations, Band 20, Heft 3, S. 381-390
ISSN: 1460-3683
While there are relevant studies on both local political subcultures and party activism in Italy, the literature misses the relations between these two social and political phenomena. This article aims at bridging the lacuna by presenting a typology of the local branches of the Italian PD (Democratic Party) based on the relationship between the features of party activism and the local political subcultures. Four types of local PD branch emerge: the 'showcase' branch, the 'administrative' branch, the 'company' branch and the 'committee' branch. The article discusses each type, while drawing on 40 in-depth interviews collected during field research. Insights into the relationship between local political subcultures and party activism in Italy are offered. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Ltd., copyright holder.]

A Conceptual Framework to Map Responses to Hate Crime, Hate Incidents and Hate Speech: The Case of Australia
In: Social policy and society: SPS ; a journal of the Social Policy Association, Band 22, Heft 3, S. 441-458
ISSN: 1475-3073
Responses to hate crimes, hate incidents and hate speech are characterised by an exceptional fragmentation in terminology and lack of coordination among governmental and non-governmental organisations. This article proposes a new conceptual framework to map the diversity of responses to hate crime, hate incidents and hate speech, with the aim of assessing gaps and needs in this important policy area. Using Australia as a case study, we create and analyse a database of 222 organisations running activities focusing on tackling hate against different target groups. The results highlight an uneven distribution of efforts across different geographical areas, types of activities and target groups. The majority of anti-hate efforts, especially by government organisations, focus on awareness raising and education rather than victim support and data collection. Racial and religious hate are the main foci of anti-hate efforts, compared to other forms of hate, such as anti-LGBTIQ+ and disablist hate.
