Join us for the WVS webinar on June 18, where our guest speaker, Francesco Rigoli from City St Georges, University of London, examines ideological extremism and polarization on a global scale, across the different countries of the world. He identifies how certain national characteristics, such as levels of modernization, influence the degree of polarization in various domains like economics, gender equality, and immigration. The findings reveal that polarization is often higher in less modernized countries, though in some issues, more modernized societies show deeper divides.
