SocietàMutamentoPolitica is a journal of sociology founded by Gianfranco Bettin Lattes. It includes theoretical and empirical studies of social phenomena in the belief that the interweaving of society and politics is of crucial analytical importance.

The main aim of SMP is to encourage an exchange of views among sociologists by promoting open debate and encouraging the young to undertake new research.
