Hungarian Academia in a Deep State
Authoritarian populism can be defined by anti-establishment attitudes, exclusionary identity politics and anti-pluralism. It denies and derides diverging opinions. Authoritarian populism rejects the legitimacy of opponents, both political and academic, and is susceptible to post-truth politics often steered by tropes and conspiracy theories. It poses a real danger to academic freedom and scientific standards. This article supports this assertion …
Authoritarianism and the ‘culture of poverty’ in social interventions in Roma communities in Hungary
This article is based on a seminar involving participants with experience of Roma-related service delivery, activism and knowledge production and explores the relevance of asset-based community development, radical social work and inclusive community development approaches in addressing challenges in Roma communities in Central Eastern Europe, with particular reference to Hungary. Some key questions in the discussion are as follows. Is there scop…
The Role of Sociology in an Illiberal Political Setting
Using Hungary as a case study, the article explores the faltering and erratic trajectory of sociology, where its development has been impeded through elites wedded to conservative tradition/authoritarianism and or the vanguardism of Marxist-Leninism, these elites were wary of the innovative and disruptive potential of sociology. Sociologists though have aligned themselves with these hierarchical and hegemonic forces or simply kept quiet. A small …
The Roma and the double-movement of Social Europe
This article uses a Polanyian frame to place the plight of Roma in Europe in the context of an age of crisis, as evidenced by faltering neoliberal economies and a corresponding rise in xenophobia and extreme manifestations of nationalism. The situation of the Roma remains precarious, a situation exacerbated by the 2008 economic crises and the COVID-pandemic. Despite a number of social inclusion measures in recent decades, at the national and Euro…

The Challenge to Academic Freedom in Hungary
The Challenge to Academic Freedom in Hungary: A Case Study in Culture War, Authoritarianism and Resistance presents a case study as to how an authoritarian regime like the one in Hungary seeks to tame academic freedom. Andrew Ryder probes the reasons for ideological conflict within the academy through concepts like ‘culture war’ and authoritarian populism. He explores how the Orbán administration has introduced a series of reforms leading to limi…
Critical Ethnography and Research Relationships
Ethnography can be a deeply challenging form of research in which the researcher has to navigate the boundaries of acceptable observation and avoid the pitfalls of intrusion. In the last twenty years, legalistic and contractual ethical codes have gained prominence and influence in social research. Despite the welcome focus on ethical issues, ethical codes rarely prompt the researcher to share the research outcomes with the research participants o…
A Game of Thrones
This article explores the relationship between the academy and Roma communities and reflects on how horizontal violence, commodification and scientism have created disconnection and forms of institutional racism. The article reflects upon the emergence of a new cadre of critical Roma researchers challenging the established hierarchies of the academy. The paper will assess the strength and validity of these challenges and reflect on whether merely…
Transforming Brexit Britain
The article gives an overview of the key cultural and structural factors behind nationalist populism and the decision to leave the European Union as a result of the referendum staged in Britain in 2016 (Brexit). The article seeks to identify socio-economic and cultural changes that might counter nationalist populism in Britain through a renewed Social Europe, civil society and cosmopolitanism. The paper also considers how a renewed democracy migh…
Religion and oppression
Our goal was to investigate the relation between religiosity and oppression. We examined, in two multinational samples taken from pre-existing data, how national oppression – measured by an index of lack of liberty and by the number of refugees originating from the country – related to religiosity (e.g., belief in God, prayer frequency). We also examined how oppression related to authoritarianism and exclusivity, measures of conservatism often co…
Roma and a Social Europe
The article explores what impact the concept of a Social Europe might have on Europe's Roma and how economic intervention and redistribution might alleviate Roma poverty and diminish Anti-Gypsyism. The article also makes the case for new deliberative forms of democracy being developed in tandem with social justice orientated policy through a renewed EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies. A version of this paper was presented in a …
Isabelle Garo and the Provincialism of French Marxism and Anti-Marxism
Isabelle Garo’s study, Foucault, Deleuze, Althusser & Marx: La politique dans la philosophie , presents a historical approach to the French philosophy of the 1960s and 1970s and its relationship to Marx and the Marxist tradition. In her view, these authors were captured by a largely mistaken understanding of the resources present in Marxist thought, and were overly affected by the prejudices instilled by the French Communist Party. Speaking from …
Monoculturalism, austerity and moral panics
This article assesses government progress in addressing Gypsy Traveller and Roma (GTR) exclusion, with particular reference to poverty and social justice issues in England, drawing on the findings of a civil society monitoring report of the UK's National Roma Integration Strategy undertaken for the Decade for Roma Inclusion Secretariat. The article identifies serious flaws in English policy approaches of mainstreaming, monoculturalism and localis…
Raising Roma Educational Participation and Achievement
The paper gives an overview of Roma, Gypsy and Traveller (RGT) educational exclusion in the European Union and seeks to provide insights into good practice through case studies focusing on Bulgaria and the UK. The paper makes a case for the promotion of collaborative relationships, where RGT communities are active partners in developing curricula and decision-making in school. It is argued in the paper that such action needs to be made in tandem …
"In Search of "Religion Proper
In two cross-cultural studies, we examined the relationship between intrinsic religiosity (IR; inwardly held religious devotion), coalitional rigidity (CR; a rigid adherence to the superiority of the norms and beliefs of one's own group), and intergroup hostility (IH; morally impugning or wishing persecution on members of other groups). For Study 1, we analyzed a number of single-item interview questions in a data set collected from 10,068 people…
Gypsies and Travellers
The aim of this article is to explore the impact of localism on vulnerable minorities like Gypsies and Travellers. This paper draws on the literature on social contract, with particular reference to Hobbes, Rawls and Habermas. The key findings of this paper indicate that localism can impede equality but also that statist forms of centralism can be counterproductive to the achievement of equality. The insights in this paper contribute to the liter…
One Nation Conservatism
Gypsies, Travellers and Roma are amongst the most marginalised and vulnerable groups in society presenting something of a bellwether, an indicator of the fairness of society. This article charts the development of One Nation Conservatism in the post-war period and relations between the Conservative Party and Gypsies, Travellers and Roma communities to gain insights into the philosophical and moral influences on the current party of government in …
Nothing about us without us’
This article was presented at the European Conference on Educational Research, September 2012 Cadiz, Spain. The article argues that community dialogue and participation is a vital dynamic in desegregation and explores the centrality of forms of empowerment which can be described as 'inclusive community development' (ICD). The segregation of Roma children is taking place despite the growing body of legal statutes and policy directives aimed at cre…
Nomadism and the 2003 Anti-Social Behaviour Act
Since the sixteenth century the state has restricted the mobilities of Gypsies and Travellers in Britain. As studies have repeatedly demonstrated, nomadic Gypsies and Travellers experience high levels of exclusion. In 1994 a duty to provide caravan sites was repealed and greater restrictions on nomadism were introduced. Motivation for restrictive state policy stems from economic factors but also involves processes of othering. The rise of New Lab…
Foucault and Althusser
Michel Foucault was at times critical of the Marxist tradition, and at other times more sympathetic. After his dismissal of Marx in The Order of Things, he conceded the existence of a more compelling, non-humanist version of this discourse. Louis Althusser's innovations are crucial for the existence of this second Marxism. While consideration of the relation between Foucault and Althusser varies between those who emphasize relations between State…

This new habitat resulted in increasing informality in style, deeper self-examination, the insurgence of the language of the industrial, an ambivalent relationship with the pastoral ruralism of the past, and frequent …

The Changing Nature of Adult Entertainment Districts
Civic leaders and urban governments have tried to control adult entertainment activities with a variety of 'command-and-control' techniques, including vice laws, licensing, zoning and land use planning powers. However, despite persistent efforts, they have failed to eliminate such activities. Recently, civic authorities appear to have had some success in closing down or down-sizing adult entertainment districts in many cities, but this success is…

The Lure of the Multiplex? The Interplay of Time, Distance, and Cinema Attendance
Models of cinema demand have tended to employ aggregate data and focus on price and income as key variables. Surprisingly, the effects of travel time and location have not been formally investigated. The authors do so, following developments in the environmental economics literature, by presenting estimates of individual travel cost models for multiplex and nonmultiplex cinemas. A key finding is that travel time has a significant negative effect …
