Revisiting Linkages between Citizens and Politicians in Contemporary Europe (2.)

Original language description

The conference sought to answer the question: What is the nature of citizen-politician linkages in the 21st century? This question is highly relevant today due to the crisis of representative democracy, decreasing trust in political elites and democratic institutions. At the same time, established parties are faced with the threat of populism. Ideologically footloose voters and weakening of traditional cleavage structures undermine programmatic appeals typical for the post-War era in Europe. In an era of rapid economic changes and globalization that cut across national boundaries, the linkage mechanism between the represented and their representatives are transforming. nThe conference consisted of a keynote speech by Prof. Herbert Kitschelt on Party systems in the transition to a knowledge society. Global trends and specific challenges in post-communist Eastern and Central Europe, and the three panels that formed separate units:n1. Current challenges for political party systems,n2. Challenging parties and their ties: New wine in old bottles?,n3. Round table dedicated to the transformation and future of political parties. The participants of the round table were the authors of books devoted to this problem, which form the basis of the current academic discussion: Fernando Casal Berto a Zsolt Enyedi (Party System Closure: Alliances and Innovations in Europe between 1848 and 2019), Mattia Zulianello (Anti-System Parties: From Parliamentary Breakthrough to Government), Lenka Bustikova (Extreme reactions: Radical right mobilization in Eastern Europe).
