  • Climate-related hazards and issue attention to climate policy in the European Parliament

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány, Mihail Chiru et al.•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2026

    The European Parliament is often portrayed as an environmental champion, but we still know little about what drives individual legislators’ attention to climate policy. This article examines whether MEPs are responsive to climate-related hazards in their constituency by matching climatological data from the subnational electoral districts of MEPs from five Member States with their issue attention to climate change during the 2004–2024 terms. It i…

  • Is far-right ecologism going mainstream? A comparison of right-wing groups in the European Parliament

    Open Access•Balša Lubarda, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2026

    This paper investigates the so-called ‘far-right mainstreaming’ thesis in environmental politics, implying that the far-right discourse has permeated mainstream right-wing politics and that the line between far-right and centre-right ideology has become increasingly blurred due to the influence of far-right talking points. To this end, we identify ideological similarities and differences in environmental arguments across the right-wing spectrum b…

  • Western civilisation’s eastern defenders. Transnational right-wing networks from ideas to action

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány, Mihai Vargas•ARTICLE•European Politics and Society•2026•References: 68

    This article investigates the articulation and institutionalisation of ‘civilisationism’ within an emerging international illiberal network that originated in North American conservatism but now centres on collaborative efforts among Central European right-wing intellectuals and think tanks. The network's declared objective is the renewal of Western politics, institutions, and ultimately ‘civilisation’ itself-conceptualised as fundamentally roote…

  • Differences within global movements: Insights from FFF climate protests in Western and Eastern Europe

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány, Dániel Mikecz et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2026•References: 65

    Research on the global climate movement underlines the importance of learning and diffusion processes for adopting similar master frames and movement tactics. At the same time, participation research suggests regionally different patterns of mobilisation and protest behaviour. Due to different historical socialisation processes, Western and Eastern European citizens show differences in political activity despite some signs of convergence. This ar…

    This article analyses the European Union’s efforts to influence the energy governance beyond its borders. Focusing on EU support for renewable energy policies in Georgia and Tunisia as part of European Green Deal and other EU policy frameworks, we emphasize the importance of business actors, civil society and resistance movements in supporting and contesting the implementation of EU norms. We propose conceptual framework that integrates a critica…

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány, Mihai Vargas•ARTICLE•JCMS Journal of Common Market…•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 56

    This article studies how the European Union (EU) influences the dynamics between supporters and opponents of market liberalization in partner countries. We focus on Ukraine's attempts to safeguard timber trade and agricultural land sales from international markets through moratoria before 2022. We find that the EU intervenes in domestic debates both directly and through domestic pro‐market coalitions to frame these moratoria as expressions of ‘ve…

  • Beyond Institutional Adaptation: Legislative Europeanisation and Parliamentary Attention to the EU in the Hungarian Parliament

    Open Access•András Bíró-Nagy, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Parliamentary Affairs•2024•References: 37

    While studies of the formal adaptation of parliaments to the European Union (EU) have dominated legislative scholarship in the last two decades, there is a growing interest in the substantive impact of the EU on legislative production and parliamentary behaviour. We contribute to this research agenda by exploring the effects of Europeanisation on the national parliament of one democratically backsliding EU member state, Hungary. Comparing periods…

  • EU Renewable Energy Governance and the Ukraine War: Moving Ahead Through Strategic Flexibility

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány, Stefan Ćetković et al.•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 14

    When faced with highly heterogeneous national conditions and preferences, the EU has often resorted to differentiation to ensure political support for advancing common policies. Despite growing scholarly interest in differentiation in the EU, conceptual clarity and empirical evidence of different forms of differentiation are still in a nascent stage. Particularly the use of differentiation in times of crisis needs to be better understood. To addr…

  • Natural Allies? External Governance and Environmental Civil Society Organizations in the EU’s Eastern Partnership

    Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Problems of Post-Communism•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 34

    Civil society networks have received little attention when it comes to sectoral analysis of adaptation of EU rules beyond borders. This article offers a remedy by conceptualizing EU influence as an opportunity structure, a resource, and a discursive frame used by civil society organizations. Empirically, it describes how EU rules are used to support environmental reforms by civil society networks in Georgia and Ukraine. Civil society activism and…

    Recent debates in international relations increasingly focus on bureaucratic apparatuses of international organizations and highlight their role, influence, and autonomy in global public policy. In this contribution we follow the recent call made by Moloney and Rosenbloom in this journal to make use of “public administrative theory and empirically based knowledge in analyzing the behavior of international and regional organizations” and offer a s…

    Combining research on sociotechnical imaginaries and social movements, this contribution examines how two major actors of the climate justice movement active in Germany – Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion – frame the discourse on climate change and just transitions. We focus on narratives of both movements and their justification strategies based on the analysis of frames. Using material produced by the two movements, the paper comparat…

  • Back to the grassroots? The shrinking space of environmental activism in illiberal Hungary

    Aron Buzogány, Szabina Kerényi et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2022•Cited by: 9•References: 29

    This article illustrates the post-euphoric development of the environmental movement in the period since 2010 that was marked by democratic backsliding and the consolidation of ‘illiberalism’ in Hungary. Embedded from a historical perspective that spans the last three decades, we present two case studies of urban environmental mobilisation and identify ‘localization’, the reorientation towards grassroot activism, as a new trend driven by the clos…

  • The Two Faces of the 'Global Right: Revolutionary Conservatives and National-Conservatives

    Open Access•Mihai Vargas, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Critical Sociology•2022•Cited by: 10•References: 102

    Studies of the Global Right usually trace its intellectual underpinnings to the revolutionary conservative New Right and its ideas claiming to defend an 'ethno-pluralist' European identity from the multiculturalist threat of a 'Great Replacement' through immigration. A second lineage, which we refer to as 'national-conservative', is less explored and is more concerned with threats to moral order and the loss of moral bearing due to liberalism's r…

  • Cutting Deals: Transnational Advocacy Networks and the European Union Timber Regulation at the Eastern Border

    Open Access•Simona Davidescu, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•The International Spectator•2021

    The European Union’s (EU) Green Deal gives increased attention to the sustainability of international product cycles by implementing ‘due diligence’ requirements. We examine the difficulties in the implementation of the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) in two countries with weak management capacities such as Romania and Ukraine. We find that domestic and transnational civil society actors can support the implementation of due diligence req…

    Open Access•Viviane Gravey, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 19

    The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was the last policy field to be placed under the Ordinary Legislative Procedure and its 2013 reform was the first to be decided under this rule. This article analyses how rule changes following the Lisbon Treaty have shaped policy outcomes related to ‘greening,’ i.e., making agricultural policy more environmentally friendly. Measuring the policy ambitions of amendments during the different phases of the legisl…

  • Illiberal democracy in Hungary: Authoritarian Diffusion or Domestic Causation

    Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Democratization•2017•Cited by: 88•References: 44

    This article analyses the democratic involution in Hungary, which was followed by the country embracing a pro-Russian policy in 2010. These processes came to be viewed as a rare case of authoritarian diffusion taking place towards an EU member state. Based on the discussion of interest versus ideational appeal as factors of authoritarian diffusion, the article develops a relational and dynamic framework to analyse the question of authoritarian di…

    While the spread of neoliberal ideas through networks has attracted much attention worldwide, the ideational content of the recent counter-waves to liberal democracy has still received relatively little consideration. This article focuses on the ideational dimension behind the current illiberal backlash in Central and Eastern Europe. We ask how political conceptions critical of the Western liberal paradigm came about and what their main component…

    Open Access•Антоанета Димитрова, Antoaneta Dimitrova et al.•ARTICLE•JCMS Journal of Common Market…•2014•Cited by: 35•References: 25

    This article investigates whether EU accession can help Bulgaria and Romania limit state capture and the undue influence of business actors on the policy process. Particularly vulnerable to such influence, Bulgarian and Romanian institutions are monitored through the EU's co‐operation and verification mechanism and the Commission and ECJ infringement procedures. We argue that, under certain conditions, these tools can improve the quality of democ…

    How has Europeanisation of environmental policy, as represented by the adoption of European Union (EU) biodiversity policies, influenced the agendas and repertoires of action employed by environmental non-governmental organisations (ENGOs) in Hungary, Poland and Romania? The EU's environmental acquis gave ENGOs new and often forceful tools to reach their aims by emphasising the importance of collaborative relations between state and non-state act…

  • Fractionalized but ambitious? Voting on energy and climate policy in the European Parliament

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány, Stefan Ćetković•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2021•Cited by: 29•References: 44

    Analysing roll call votes from the energy and climate policy field in the Eighth European Parliament (2014–2019), this article asks why has the European Parliament succeeded in maintaining its relatively ambitious position and how national and partizan factors explain voting behaviour of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on EU energy and climate legislation. We find the Eurosceptic vs. pro-EU cleavage to be the main conflict line structur…

  • Illiberal thought collectives and policy networks in Hungary and Poland

    Focusing on the emergence of ideas and the knowledge networks involved in producing a counter-narrative to the liberal and neoliberal ideational consensus of the 1990s and 2000s, this contribution traces the intellectual trajectory of the illiberal turn in Poland and Hungary. We make use of the ideational scholarship differentiating between public philosophies, problem definitions and policy solutions to discuss how illiberal state transformation…

  • The Foreign Policy of Populists in Power: Contesting Liberalism in Poland and Hungary

    Mihai Vargas, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Geopolitics•2021•Cited by: 19•References: 84

    Ruling right-wing populist parties in Europe have significantly changed foreign policies and advanced criticism against core values of liberal democracy, including dismissive stances vis-à-vis the European Union. This paper argues that the reorientation of foreign policies in Hungary and Poland is consistent with ideas developed by incumbent populist right-wing parties and intellectuals of statecraft in the wider conservative movement supporting …

  • Compliance with EU environmental law. The iceberg is melting

    Tanja A Börzel, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2019•Cited by: 18•References: 57

    The European Union (EU) has become the main driver for environmental policy output for its member states whose number has more than tripled over the past four decades. The EU’s deepening and widening has led researchers to expect more non-compliance with EU environmental legislation. In fact, however, the implementation gap has narrowed over the past 25 years. Except for Southern enlargement, taking on new member states has not exacerbated the EU…

  • Selective Adoption of EU Environmental Norms in Ukraine. Convergence á la Carte

    While the EU's policies towards non-member states are often discussed within frameworks of ‘high politics’, one of the most important features of the European Neighbourhood Policy is its emphasis on the ‘low politics’ of sectoral dialogue in functionally differentiated policy fields. Examining policy change triggered in Ukraine by the EU's neighbourhood policy framework, the essay focuses on environmental policy as a typical ‘low politics’ policy…

    Recent debates regarding the effectiveness of regulatory policymaking in the European Union (EU) focus on the merits of soft, non-binding forms of regulation between public and private actors. The emergence of less coercive forms of regulation is analyzed as a response to powerful functional pressures emanating from the complexity of regulatory issues, as well as the need to secure flexibility and adaptability of regulation to distinctive territo…

    Political elites often construct dichotomous images of foreign policy choices. This paper is interested in how overlapping regional integration projects such as the European Union or the Russia-initiated Eurasian Economic Union are regarded by the larger public. Based on survey data, the paper analyses foreign policy orientations in Georgia, a country that has been considered as one of the most strongly pro-Western nations in the post-soviet worl…

    The countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have commonly been regarded as climate and energy policy laggards blocking more ambitious EU decarbonization targets. Although recent literature has increasingly acknowledged the differences in national positions on energy and climate issues among these states, there has been little comprehensive evidence about their positioning on EU climate and energy policies and the domestic interests which sh…

    Over the last decades, regional parliaments were considered to play a minor role in European affairs. Not only was the salience of the EU low at the regional level, but politicians elected into these bodies also often lacked vested interests and capacities to become more involved in dealing with complex multi-level questions. After the constitutional strengthening of regional parliaments in EU decision-making, this paper considers one under-resea…

After the constitutional strengthening of regional parliaments in EU decision-making, this paper considers one under-resea…

  • Illiberal democracy in Hungary: Authoritarian Diffusion or Domestic Causation

    Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Democratization•2017•Cited by: 88•References: 44

    This article analyses the democratic involution in Hungary, which was followed by the country embracing a pro-Russian policy in 2010. These processes came to be viewed as a rare case of authoritarian diffusion taking place towards an EU member state. Based on the discussion of interest versus ideational appeal as factors of authoritarian diffusion, the article develops a relational and dynamic framework to analyse the question of authoritarian di…

  • Civil Society Organisations beyond the European Union: Normative Expectations and Local Realities

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary European…•2018•Cited by: 3

    This article analyses the development of the EU's external civil society agenda and how this is interpreted by various actors. Using qualitative interviews carried out in Ukraine, Georgia and Brussels, the article shows how the EU's external civil society agenda has developed in parallel with the EU's internal ‘governance turn’. Changes in this narrative from a partnership-orientated role towards a more political watchdog-role for civil society o…

  • Explaining subnational parliamentary scrutiny powers: A fuzzy-set analysis of German Landtage

    Aron Buzogány, Jens Häsing et al.•ARTICLE•Regional & Federal Studies•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 32

    While the European Union’s Lisbon Treaty has important implications for regional parliaments with legislative competences, most studies have focused on cross-country differences or examined the activities of regional parliaments at the EU level. This contribution shows the existence of substantial intra-country differences in the formal scrutiny rights of regional parliaments. We analyse how German regional parliaments (Landtage) have addressed t…

  • The ideational foundations of the illiberal backlash in Central and Eastern Europe: The case of Hungary

    Aron Buzogány, Mihai Vargas•ARTICLE•Review of International Political…•2018•Cited by: 54•References: 27

    While the spread of neoliberal ideas through networks has attracted much attention worldwide, the ideational content of the recent counter-waves to liberal democracy has still received relatively little consideration. This article focuses on the ideational dimension behind the current illiberal backlash in Central and Eastern Europe. We ask how political conceptions critical of the Western liberal paradigm came about and what their main component…

  • Austrian Greens: From Pyrrhic Presidential Victory to Parliamentary Exit

    Aron Buzogány, Patrick Scherhaufer•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2018•Cited by: 4•References: 4

    After a continuous parliamentary presence of over three decades and despite the recent election of former Green Party leader, Alexander Van der Bellen, as President, the Austrian Greens failed to s

  • The Political Economy of EU Climate and Energy Policies in Central and Eastern Europe Revisited: Shifting Coalitions and Prospects for Clean Energy Transitions

    Open Access•Stefan Ćetković, Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2019•Cited by: 10•References: 24

    The countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have commonly been regarded as climate and energy policy laggards blocking more ambitious EU decarbonization targets. Although recent literature has increasingly acknowledged the differences in national positions on energy and climate issues among these states, there has been little comprehensive evidence about their positioning on EU climate and energy policies and the domestic interests which sh…

  • Civic engagement, political participation and the radical right in Central and Eastern Europe

    Open Access•Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•Party Politics•2019•References: 33

    While the literature on mass society and social capital assumes a negative relationship between civic associationalism, political participation, social trust and populist radical right (PRR) voting, more recent studies provide more mixed evidence that fringe parties can mobilize support and consolidate by relying on complex networks of civil society organizations. However, these studies focus on supply-side explanations; there is little systemati…

  • Europe, Russia, or both? Popular perspectives on overlapping regionalism in the Southern Caucasus

    Aron Buzogány•ARTICLE•East European Politics•2019•Cited by: 15•References: 62

    Political elites often construct dichotomous images of foreign policy choices. This paper is interested in how overlapping regional integration projects such as the European Union or the Russia-initiated Eurasian Economic Union are regarded by the larger public. Based on survey data, the paper analyses foreign policy orientations in Georgia, a country that has been considered as one of the most strongly pro-Western nations in the post-soviet worl…
