30 years of the Visegrad Group Vol.4 - red. Ewelina Kancik-Kołtun - książka

In recent years, political science has increasingly focused on examining the state of modern liberal democracy. Scholars are particularly interested in the vulnerabilities threatening the stability of democratic systems and in the phenomenon known as democratic backsliding. These concerns are often scrutinized through various lenses, such as social, economic, cultural, technological, and political factors. A significant piece of academic work aims to pinpoint the specific risks facing liberal democracy within the Visegrad Group. This region, while composed of geographically proximate nations with seemingly similar histories, presents unique challenges due to its varied economic developments, potential, and heterogeneous societies. This complexity makes the Visegrad Group a compelling subject for comparative political research, underscoring its significance in understanding broader democratic challenges. This analysis is led by Prof. Arkadiusz Lewandowski from Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz.
