This project aims to inform strategies to increase democratic resilience by studying the mechanisms that “exclusionary populist” movements use to increase their power by undermining the Rule of Law and eroding the divide between the public and private domains in the areas of law, the economy, and the media. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach spanning political economy, political science, legal-, management-, and media studies, we compare Austria, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, and Turkey, all of which have experienced populist success, but differ considerably in their histories and institutional setups.
