The European Institute to host workshop on the policies and influence of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni

The LSE European Institute is co-organising a one-day workshop on 15 May 2026 at LSE, which will examine the policies and influence of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whose leadership of Brothers of Italy - widely classified as a populist radical right party - has positioned her government as a potential pacesetter for Europe’s radical right and beyond.

The workshop will be followed by a roundtable featuring Barbara Serra (Skynews), Professor Tim Bale (Queen Mary University) and Dr Caterina Mazzilli (ODI Global).

The event is sponsored by the Political Studies Association Excellence and Impact Fund, and it is organised by the Italian Politics Specialist Group, in collaboration with the LSE European Institute.
