Unequal participation: How low socioeconomic status hinders political engagement
Political participation is a key mechanism through which individuals express their preferences in democratic systems. Thus, unequal participation may allow some groups to exert disproportionate influence on political outcomes. This research examines the existence of socioeconomic status (SES) differences in political engagement and sheds light on the psychological mechanisms driving these disparities across seven studies. Using nationwide surveys…
China’s bid for international leadership in Central and Eastern Europe: Role Conflict and Policy Responses
China and Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) have intensified their cooperation over the past decade or so. Despite some modest progress, this cooperation has performed below the expectations of the CEECs in general, and, even more so, generated negative feedback and implications more widely. This study is motivated by the puzzle over why there are widening discrepancies between the two sides after initially positive expectations. Inf…
Longitudinal attenuation in political polarization: Evidence from Covid-19 vaccination adherence in Brazil
Together, these studies show that, in a context where the superiority of the promoted policy becomes clear over time and individuals have the opportunity to revisit prior beliefs, even intense political polarization can be attenuated
China und die Menschenrechte: Anmerkungen zu einer verfehlten Debatte. Notes on a Misguided Debate
In the Czech Republic, China policy has been hotly debated for many years. The background to the discussion was initially the violent stifling of the human rights movement in Beijing in 1989 and the peaceful revolution in Czechoslovakia that same year. It is no coincidence that the Czech media dedicates its attention above all to Tibet and Taiwan. The Czech Republic’s first president, Václav Havel, who was a personal friend of the Dalai Lama, sti…
Taming rock music in communist states: Politicisation of Western popular culture in East Europe and mainland China
A comparison of the former Eastern Bloc and China’s ways of dealing with the social implications of rock music as an alien cultural import from the West reveals significant analogies. The paper traces the process of politicisation of rock music and compares the two different cultural spaces by mapping each space’s state ideology, aesthetic traditions and identities, and discriminative political and economic tools used to marginalise rock. Here th…
Cultivating the Art of Anxiety: Securitising Culture in China
Deepening globalisation and worldwide availability of free information and ideas raise concerns of the communist China’s political leadership about the stability of the regime and the sustainability of the state ideological orthodoxy. Therefore, the state’s tightening control of the public communication to curtail the domestic criticism and occasional public discontent is becoming framed and legitimised in terms of cultural security as a non-trad…
A worldwide assessment of changes in adherence to Covid-19 protective behaviours and hypothesized pandemic fatigue
Mobilizing Overseas Chinese to Back Up Chinese Diplomacy: The Case of President Hu Jintao’s Visit to Slovakia in 2009
The Chinese view of hard and soft power in foreign policy differs from the Western understanding of these terms. The authorities’ hard-power practice of mobilizing expatriates to back up Chinese diplomacy and suppress critics overseas undermines China’s soft-power efforts in the West. The street clash that occurred during President Hu Jintao’s visit to Slovakia in 2009 is a case in point
Czech and Slovak Relations with China: Contenders for China's Favour
This study examines the prospects for new European Union (EU) member countries in pursuing their foreign policy objectives in relations with China. Both the Czech Republic and Slovakia cherished an idea of making China an alternative economic partner. However, after 1989, China perceived these states as minor, almost unimportant partners, regardless of their efforts. Their profile was raised by EU accession but there was little change in their st…
