Political Science Talks Politics Populism, Illiberalism and Democratic Backsliding in Europe
Spring 2022 European Union (EU)member states, like several countries across the globe including the US, have experienced a rise of populism and other forces to undermine democracy. The EU is an institution premised upon democracy, but what mechanisms can it employ to keep countries on the democratic path? This presentation will focus on democratic backsliding in Hungary and Poland and the role the EU has had to try to bring these countries back into the democratic fold. Carolyn M. Dudek, PhD Chair and Professor of Political Science and Director of European Studies Hofstra University
