Abstract

Papers in this panel examine how contemporary politics reshapes participation and power through leadership, media, and digital practices. From village-level collective action in rural China to state-orchestrated denunciations in Turkey, from the flamboyant populist performances of Argentina to electoral disruptions in Germany, and the rise of alternative media ecosystems, these studies reveal how authority and persuasion are negotiated across contexts. Central to these dynamics are questions of who speaks, who is silenced, and how participation is structured by gendered and power-laden hierarchies. Together, they interrogate how shifting political environments redefine agency, legitimacy, and the possibilities for inclusive democratic participation.
