The main project
objective is to analyze reasons, factors and consequences of the emergence of the “alternative politics” in Central Europe –
the rise of new political formations in V4 states. In the last years the new
political parties with different ideological profiles have been founded in Hungary, Poland, CzechRepublic
and Slovakia.
The proposed project will concentrate on analytical responses to the following
questions: What are the reasons behind the emergence of new political
formations? How do they communicate with voters? What are the consequences of new types of
mobilization used by new parties for the overall population voting behavior?
What are the consequences of “alternative politics” for the existent party
systems? What is the impact of ”alternative politics” to the governance and
policy making process?
