CEE politics
parties, protest and voters in post-communist Europe
The structure of the Romanian political space. From Borbáth 2019.
While most of my work is comparative and concerns countries from northwestern, southern and eastern Europe, I am particularly interested in the specific issues post-communist countries face.
This line of research explores conflict structures, the strategies of mobilising actors, as well as patterns of individual behavior. I am generally interested in the region, but some of my work has a more narrow focus on the politics of Romania and Hungary.
