Anno 2025 , numero/fascicolo 3 Special Issue https://editorialescientifica.it/storia-e-politica-3-2025-special-issue/ Storia e Politica, n. 3 dicembre 2025, Special Issue edited by Annalisa Furia. DOES DEMOCRACY NEED SOLIDARITY? Is solidarity necessary to support democracy? What has been its historical role and political function in this regard? How can the particularistic, and potentially exclusionary, aspects of solidarity be reconciled with its universal aspirations? While our (even very recent) history provides evidence that solidarity can be enacted as an exclusionary and illiberal principle against variously defined “others,” the starting point of this special issue is that the question of the relationship between solidarity and democracy is politically significant and, more specifically, one that can be effectively explored by examining both its historical origins and contemporary manifestations through multiple disciplinary lenses.
