Echoes of War in Serbia
This article explores the ramifications of the war in Ukraine on Serbian politics. Attention is paid to the governing Serbian Progressive Party/SNS and the “broader right” (national conservative, radical, and extreme right) between 2022 and 2025. This study demonstrates that the war granted Serbia’s “broader right” a temporary “common ground” but not a long-term opportunity structure against SNS. The nexus of Russophilia in Serbia is not “fixed” …
Echoes of the War in Ukraine

It studies the cases of the Estonian Conservative People’s Party (EKRE) and Latvia’s National Alliance (NA). This piece concentrates on the cases of EKRE and NA with an interest in these parties’ formation processes, outlooks on identity politics, their stances vis-à-vis the EU and developments in international politics, …
The Ethnic Hungarian Minority in Serbia
This article focuses on Serbia's largest minority group, the ethnic Hungarians, and the party of the Alliance of Vojvodina's Hungarians/VMSZ. VMSZ emerges as an ethnic minority party that has developed a distinctly (right-wing) ideological profile. This profile appropriates and combines elements from Hungarian 'illiberal democracy' and Serbian 'stabilitocracy'. VMSZ aligns with its larger partners' (the Serbian Progressive Party/SNS and the Civic…
Croatia's ‘new’ national conservatives
This article introduces the national conservative party of the Homeland Movement (Domovinski Pokret, DP). This is Croatia’s third largest party and, since 8 May 2024, a government partner to the (centre-right) Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). This article explores how the Homeland Movement draws inspiration from the longer trajectory of Croatian ethno-nationalism to legitimize its prerogatives and mobilize its support bases. It also seeks to dete…
Ethnopolitics in Central and Eastern Europe in a State of Flux
This is the introduction to a special section based on selected contributions for the ‘Ethnopolitics in Central and Eastern Europe in a State of Flux’ international conference (UPTAKE research consortium, Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies, University of Tartu, Estonia, February 9th- 10th, 2018)
Geopolitics, Ethnopolitics and the EU
This work is a study on the patterns of managing ethnic relations in Serbia and Latvia. It aims at enhancing the cross-regional exchange of knowledge between the Western Balkans and the Baltic States. This study demonstrates that as the bond between geopolitics and ethnopolitics grows more powerful, the liberalization of minority policies would become less feasible within a state. It also hints that the intersection between geopolitics and ethnop…
Converging or diverging patterns of Euroscepticism among political parties in Croatia and Serbia
This article is a comparative study on the patterns of Euroscepticism encountered among the political parties of Croatia and Serbia. Primary attention is paid to the employment of Euroscepticism from within the halls of power by the ruling parties of Croatian Democratic Union/HDZ and the Serbian Progressive Party/SNS. Secondary attention is paid to the employment of Euroscepticism by smaller parties with a populist and/or a radical right-wing ori…
Identity Politics and Right-Wing Populism in Estonia
This case study focuses on Estonia and introduces the populist and radical right-wing party of EKRE (Eesti Konservatiivne Rahvaerakond/Estonian Conservative People’s Party). It demonstrates that EKRE’s employment of identity politics over the refugee question and immigration is embedded inside the pre-existing frame of Estonian restoration and “decolonization” nationalism. The party’s campaign over the refugee question and immigration interlinks …
Between party-systems and identity-politics
The article explores party-based populist and radical right looking at the cases of Latvia’s National Alliance (NA) and of the Estonian Conservative People’s Party (EKRE). The research question is: How does the intersection between the specificities of party-systems and particularistic identity-politics either facilitate or complicate the political engagements of EKRE and NA? This piece demonstrates that whereas the Latvian party-system provides …
The banality of Golden Dawn
Golden Dawn remains Greece’s third largest party and has succeeded in maintaining the groupness of its voters during a series of electoral contests (local, national, and European). Nevertheless, Golden Dawn’s leadership is currently standing trial on criminal accusations and this has complicated the operation of the party. This article demonstrates that Golden Dawn remains a crucial political force within a context which is largely shaped by weak…
Ethnic Relations, the EU, and Geopolitical Implications
This study is a comparison between the patterns for managing ethnic relations in Croatia and Estonia within the context of the EU's eastward enlargement. It sets in context how internal and external actors impact upon the management of ethnic relations in both states. Systemic transformation has generated the circumstances towards the formulation of a consistent and extensive legislation on minority rights in Croatia. Meanwhile, in Estonia, the e…
The ‘New’ Far Right in Hungary
This article focuses on the party of Jobbik (‘The Better’) and places its rhetoric and activism within the context of the Hungarian political system and its internal pathologies. A deeper and broader insight of nationalism's socio-psychological appeal in Hungarian politics and society will help the reader understand better why and how the economic crisis has been a watershed for Jobbik's popularity among certain segments of the Hungarian electora…
Croatia's Framework for Minority Rights
This work is a case study on the legal patterns for managing ethnic relations in Croatia within the context of European integration. The significance of European formal and informal engagement in this process is particularly highlighted. The main research questions in this article are: What has been the impact of the EU accession process on legislation on minority rights in Croatia? How efficient has Croatia been in making use of certain elements…
Twenty years after 1989
This article sets within a qualitative framework part of the social sciences research that has been carried out on Central and Eastern Europe since 1989. This qualitative study relies upon quantitative data from journal monitoring carried out on a number of thematic journals on post-Communist Europe. What the article demonstrates is that political science research on post-Communist Europe has advanced from the stage of transitology to methodologi…
