História, nacionalismo e democracia: Mito e narrativa na Hungria “iliberal” de Viktor Orbán
Esse artigo estuda a relação entre discurso nacionalista e a “virada iliberal” da Hungria a partir da eleição do partido Fidesz, de Viktor Orbán, no pleito de 2010, até 2015. Ele começa examinando os argumentos de autores como Jeffrey Alexander, Quentin Skinner e Tapio Juntunen para poder estabelecer um quadro teórico sobre como atores políticos constroem e manipulam mitos históricos para os seus próprios interesses políticos.

Cultural Trauma, Populist Grand Narratives, and Brexit
Recently, increased academic attention has been paid to the role played in populist rhetoric by narratives surrounding humiliation and trauma. These studies analytically focus on how populist politicians use such narratives to legitimize their messages, as a response to genuine voter demands or worries. We argue populist messaging may just as easily be constructed through a top–down, elite-driven process, rather than in response to grassroots dem…
Examining the Effectiveness of Using Role-Play Simulations with Chinese Students in China
A significant body of literature testifies to the effectiveness of role-play gaming and simulations as pedagogical methods in political science. Many of these studies involve students with a Western background. In contrast, little research exists on the teaching of political science in China and none on the effectiveness of simulations for teaching Chinese students. This study seeks to investigate the efficacy of role-play simulations as a method…
Holocene sea-level variability from Chesapeake Bay Tidal Marshes, USA
We reconstructed the last 10,000 years of Holocene relative sea-level rise (RSLR) from sediment core records near Chesapeake Bay, eastern United States, including new marsh records from the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, Virginia. Results show mean RSLR rates of 2.6 mm yr −1 from 10 to 8 kilo-annum (ka) due to combined final ice-sheet melting during deglaciation and glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA subsidence). Mean RSLR rates from ~6 ka to pre…
History, Nationalism and Democracy: Myth and Narrative in Viktor Orbán's ‘Illiberal Hungary’
This article studies the relationship between nationalistic discourse and Hungary's ‘illiberal turn’ from the election of Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party in the 2010 Hungarian elections up until 2015. It begins by examining the arguments of authors such as Jeffrey Alexander, Quentin Skinner, and Tapio Juntunen in order to establish a theoretical framework for how political actors construct and manipulate historical myths for their own political purpo…
The Post‐9/11 “Terrorism” Discourse and Its Impact on Nonstate Actors: A Comparative Study of the LTTE and Hamas
In the aftermath of the 2001 World Trade Center bombings, the application of the label “terrorist” to one of the parties in a given conflict can serve to deny political legitimacy, and can make possible the use of extreme measures to deal with them. This article compares the fortunes of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and Hamas. Through the use of an analysis of contemporary discourses relating to terrorism, it is argued that, in the post‐9/…
Improving Household Surveys Through Computer-Assisted Data Collection: Use of Touch-Screen Laptops in Challenging Environments
Data on land use change and socioeconomic dynamics in developing countries are often collected via paper-and-pencil interviewing (PAPI). This article reviews a computer-aided personal interviewing (CAPI) methodology adopted for the fourth wave of a panel survey administered in a remote region of the Brazilian Amazon in 2009. Ruggedized touch-screen laptops were used to address challenges associated with survey administration in this setting as we…
