Are the upper chambers a source of democratic resilience? Evidence from elite perceptions in the Czech Republic
In recent years, several Central and Eastern European countries, including Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, have experienced significant democratic backsliding. The Czech Republic was also perceived as a possible case of democratic backsliding after populist billionaire Andrej Babiš became Prime Minister in 2017, running on a platform including proposals to transform the constitutional system. However, no major “reforms” took place, and little demo…

Evaluating a statewide anonymous reporting system for students and multidisciplinary response teams
Schools throughout the country are seeking effective ways to prevent a wide array of events that may pose physical, mental, and social threats to students and staff. The Nevada Departments of Education and Public Safety are implementing a statewide anonymous tip line for students to report potentially harmful events, supported by multi-disciplinary teams in all schools and local law enforcement agencies to respond and follow up accordingly. The p…
The End of the Backsliding Paradigm
Debates about democratic decline are now dominated by the notion that many democracies might be undergoing a process described as democratic backsliding. While the concept can play its part, the emergence of a backsliding paradigm risks reproducing, in reverse, the intellectual constraints of the transition paradigm of the 1990s, famously critiqued by Thomas Carothers. The complex, halting trajectories of troubled democracies today may be hidden …

Foreground Liberalism, Background Nationalism
This article argues for a fresh approach to debates on democratic backsliding and European Union (EU) influence in East Central Europe (ECE), drawing on the discursive institutionalism of Vivien Schmidt. Underlying assumptions about backsliding in CEE largely reflect a set of ideas derived from the rational institutionalist and historical institutionalist schools. Moreover, the same theoretical assumptions were previously deployed to explain the …
Rethinking “democratic backsliding” in Central and Eastern Europe – looking beyond Hungary and Poland
This essay introduces contributions to a special issue of East European Politics on “Rethinking democratic backsliding in Central and Eastern Europe”, which seeks to expand the study of democratic regression in CEE beyond the paradigmatic cases of Hungary and Poland. Reviewing these contributions, we identify several directions for research: 1) the need to critique “democratic backsliding”, not simply as a label, but also as an assumed regional t…
Understanding the illiberal turn
Democratic backsliding in Central Europe has so far been most acute in Hungary and Poland, states once considered frontrunners in democratisation. In this paper, we explore to what extent developments in another key frontrunner, the Czech Republic, fit initial patterns of Hungarian/Polish backsliding. Our analysis centres on the populist anti-corruption ANO movement, led by the billionaire Andrej Babiš, which became the largest Czech party in Oct…
Legitimacy and the Paradox of Technocratic Government in Newer European Democracies
The creation of technocratic caretaker governments in several European countries in the wake of the Great Recession (2008–2009) and the Eurozone crisis led to renewed academic interest in such administrations. Although such governments are often assumed to be illegitimate and democratically dysfunctional, there has been little empirical consideration of if and how they legitimate themselves to mass publics. This question is particularly acute giv…
Effect of Pictorial Cigarette Pack Warnings on Changes in Smoking Behavior
IMPORTANCE: Pictorial warnings on cigarette packs draw attention and increase quit intentions, but their effect on smoking behavior remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of adding pictorial warnings to the front and back of cigarette packs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This 4-week between-participant randomized clinical trial was carried out in California and North Carolina. We recruited a convenience sample of adult cigarette …
Recruiting Diverse Smokers
To help tobacco control research better include vulnerable populations, we sought to identify effective ways to recruit diverse smokers. In 2014-2015, we recruited 2149 adult cigarette smokers in California and North Carolina, United States, to participate in a randomized trial of pictorial cigarette pack warnings. The most effective means of recruiting smokers were the classified advertising website Craigslist (28% of participants), word of mout…
Economy, corruption or floating voters? Explaining the breakthroughs of anti-establishment reform parties in eastern Europe
This paper discusses a new group of parties that we term anti-establishment reform parties (AERPs), which combine moderate social and economic policies with anti-establishment appeals and a desire to change the way politics is conducted. We analyse the electoral breakthroughs of AERPs in central and eastern Europe (CEE), the region where AERPs have so far been most successful. Examples include the Simeon II National Movement, Movement for the Eur…
What’s Wrong with East-Central Europe
In 2007 Ivan Krastev argued that EU-enforced ‘liberal consensus’ in East Central Europe was giving way to illiberal, but ultimately benign, populism. Post-accession ‘backsliding’ in Hungary suggests a stronger illiberal challenge. However, we argue, democratic malaise in ECE is better understood as a long-term pattern of ‘illiberal consolidation’ built on an accommodation between technocratic, economistic liberalism and forces of rent-seeking and…

The Development of Pensioners’ Interest Organisations in Central and Eastern Europe
Studies of organised interests in Central and Eastern Europe have overlooked constituencies shaped by the welfare state such as retired people. The article compares the development, structure and strategies of pensioners’ interest organisations in the Czech Republic and Slovenia. It finds that sizeable, if poorly resourced, membership-based pensioners’ interest organisations have emerged, largely independently of trade unions, and integrated into…
Reducing Youth Access to Alcohol
Underage drinking continues to be an important public health problem and a challenge to the substance abuse prevention field. Community‐based interventions designed to more rigorously control underage access to alcohol through retailer education and greater enforcement of underage drinking laws have been advocated as potentially effective strategies to help address this problem, but studies designed to evaluate such interventions are sparse. To a…
Predicting High Risk Adolescents’ Substance Use Over Time
Dynamics of new party formation in the Czech Republic 1996–2010
The stable and closed nature of the Czech party system and the failure of most new political parties have been among the most salient features of Czech democracy over the past two decades. The results of the 2010 parliamentary elections seemed to mark a break with this pattern: support for two main parties slumped to historically low levels and two new parties, TOP09 and Public Affairs (VV), entered parliament. This article seeks to put the 'poli…

The Emergence of Pensioners’ Parties in Contemporary Europe
May Contain Nuts’? The Reality behind the Rhetoric Surrounding the British Conservatives' New Group in the European Parliament
The British Conservative Party's decision to leave the European Peoples' Party‐European Democrats (EPP‐ED) group in the European Parliament and establish a new formation—the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR)—has attracted criticism, much of it focused on the supposedly extremist politics and character of the partners with which the Conservatives have chosen to work. In fact, while those parties which have joined the Conservatives in the…

Sticking Together
In this article, we attempt to explain varying patterns of centre—right success between 1990 and 2006 in three post-communist states — Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. Success is understood as the ability to construct broad and durable parties. Both macro-institutional explanations, focusing on executive structures and electoral systems, and historical—structural explanations, stressing communist regime legacies, have limited power to expl…

From Neo-Liberalism to National Interests
The euroscepticism of the Czech Civic Democratic Party (ODS) is well known but has been rarely examined in detail. This is surprising, given how poorly ODS fits the profile of eurosceptic parties. These are usually marginal radical groupings. This article maps the developing euroscepticism of the Czech centre-right between 1991 and 2002. It notes a shift from a euroscepticism stressing neo-liberalism and Czech and Central European distinctness to…

A Nation of Sceptics? The Czech EU Accession Referendum of 13–14 June 2003
The Czech Republic's 13–14 June 2003 referendum on accession to the European Union was the seventh of nine held in candidate states due to join the EU on 1 May 2004. Despite the presence of two strong Eurosceptic parties and the perceived Euroscepticism of Czech public opinion, the pro-accession camp scored a convincing victory. This account analyses the historical, political and institutional context of the referendum and the campaign. It conclu…

Towards Breakthrough or Breakdown? The Consolidation of KSCM as a Neo-Communist Successor Party in the Czech Republic
The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia is unusual among communist successor parties in having maintained a clear communist identity after 1989. This can be explained by reference to the concept of 'subcultural party', catering for a particular segment of the population. This particular identity emerged as a result of a protracted internal struggle, in addition to the obvious need to address the electorate and win votes. Moreover, close examin…
The new right in the new Europe? Unravelling the ideology of ’ Czech Thatcherism
The remarkable success of Vaclav Klaus and the 'Thatcherite' right in the Czech Republic was an exception in post-communist Eastern Europe. Explanations for its success have usually focused on policy performance, fixed historical legacies or generalized understandings of post-communism, but have largely ignored the role of ideology. However, despite differences of context, 'Czech Thatcherism', like its British precursor, can be seen in Gramscian …
Blue Velvet
In Comparative terms, the Czech centre-right (principally the Civic Democratic Part - ODS - of Václav Klaus) represents an intermediate case between those of Hungary and Poland. Although Klaus's ODS has always been a large, stable and well-institutionalized party, avoiding the fragmentation and instability of the Polish right, the Czech centre-right has not achieved the degree of ideological and organization concentration seen in Hungary. A numbe…

Re-stating Party Development in Central and Eastern Europe
After the collapse of state socialism, the potentially harmful infl uence of unreconstructed communist-era bureaucracies was recognised in general terms. But reform of the state was widely seen as a second-order issue, largely reducible to the rolling back of old institutions, which would more or less automatically fl ow from the wider success of liberal economic and political reforms. Two new studies, Conor O'Dwyer's Runaway State-building (henc…

This book considers the emergence of centre right parties in Eastern Europe following the fall of communism, focusing primarily on the case of the Czech Republic. Although the country with the strongest social democratic traditions in Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic also produced the region's strongest and most durable party of the free market right in Václav Klaus' Civic Democratic Party (ODS).

The Prevalence of Effective Substance Use Prevention Curricula in the Nation’s High Schools
Random Drug Testing in US Public School Districts
We estimated the proportion of the nation’s public school districts that have high school grades in which random drug testing is conducted. We collected data in spring 2005 from 1343 drug prevention coordinators in a nationally representative sample of school districts with schools that have high school grades; of these districts, 14% conducted random drug testing. Almost all districts randomly tested athletes, and 65% randomly tested other stude…
