Post-Imperial and Post-Socialist Legacies in Today’s Populisms in Central and Eastern Europe

Conference

Populism has become a supra-national phenomenon leading researchers to re-evaluate the positioning of national societies and regions today. The varieties of populism that can be observed in Central and Eastern Europe tend to re-establish societies with a strong
emphasis on national identity and sovereignty.References to historical predecessors – who opposed to foreign infiltration into the respective nations – are made by political leaders to reconstruct the national myths and identities that have emerged since the interwar period.

The conference addresses to what extent populist parties and movements reinterpret historical peculiarities to restore national pride and give a new sense of direction. What influences did the different experiences of the imperial age, the collapse of the empires, and the legacies of socialism have on the variety of populisms of today?
