(New) Municipalism

By interpreting the results of the world values survey one of the conclusions that scholars are getting to is that people value democracy, but just not the kind of representative democracy that they have. In addition, political parties from the extreme right are gaining support in many countries, offering simple and quick answers to people’s fears and disenchantment with traditional representative politics. In the face of these circumstances, so-called new municipalism or the municipalism of the Fearless Cities movement  appears as a new political phenomenon that aims at responding to the different challenges posed by the current political context.
