Between Demand and Supply: Reasons for populist success in CEE

Abstract

This panel is part of the section S22 "Explaining Right-Wing Populism in Central and Eastern Europe: Economics, Politics, (Civil) Society and Culture", jointly organized by the two EU-funded Horizon2020 projects FATIGUE and POPREBEL. Aiming to allow for inter- and transdisciplinary discussion, the section combines approaches from political theory, political sociology, political economy, political culture, and political discourse to explain and understand the present wave of populist mobilizations in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe. This panel focuses on the reasons for populist success, looking at both demand and supply side of politics.
