The Rise of the Radical Right in Central and Eastern Europe

Original language description

The contemporary radical right has been growing in strength in Central and Eastern Europe. Why, though, have these parties mobilized and how are they attracting support? Right-wing radical groups - both parties and other kinds of social/political organizations - benefited primarily from offering an alternative channel for political discontent. In the more ethnically homogeneous societies of Central Europe, radical right parties mobilize to keep minorities from advancing. In more ethnically and linguistically diverse societies such as Ukraine, the unpopularity of radical right-wing parties has been countered by an increased social role played by radicalized right-wing extra-parliamentary and paramilitary groups. This seminar contrasted the cases of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary with that of Ukraine, and offered a more nuanced understanding of the activities and motivations of radical right political parties in Central and Eastern Europe. The participants of the seminar were Ondřej Horký-Hlucháň, the Deputy Director for Research at the Institute of International Relations Prague; Dr. Lenka Buštíková, an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University, and Dr. Melanie Mierzejewski, an Associate Researcher at the Institute of International Relations.
