After 1918 - ethnic composition of Brno, Olomouc, and Hradec Králové

The idea of discovering of ethnic diversity on local level was a natural result of conference My Hero Your Enemy that took place in 2011 in Prague and 2015 in Brno. Both events were among other gathering of leading experts on contemporary history of Central Europe. During discussions the question of local “histories” was raised. How we can discuss “big stories” of independent nations in Visegrad region since local perspectives remain barely discovered? Therefore this project came up as an answer to national “stories” to have a perspective on very local situation in V4 region.

Stručný volební atlas polských voleb z hlediska národní identity

Polská politika je synonymem pro emoce a jejich užití v politickém boji. To se týká i problematiky národní identity a její role v probíhající předvolební kampani. Polská politika byla v poslední dekádě charakterizována sporem mezi dvěma největšími stranami, Občanskou platformou (Platforma Obywatelska, PO) a uskupením Právo a spravedlnost (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS), personifikovaným do konfliktu mezi Donaldem Tuskem a bratry Kaczyńskými.

New study on Slovak far right movements published

Communal elections that took place on November 15th, 2014 shed a different light on Marian Kotleba’s political triumph. It seems that he quickly failed to fulfill the expectations and hopes of his voters and his image is now, after almost a year in the governor’s seat, flawed by accusations of incompetency and nepotism. Obstructing of the flow of European funds into the region also contributed to his unpopularity.
