Articles by Dominika V. Polanska and Grzegorz Piotrowski

  1. Slovak Parliamentary Election. From 1998 Revolution 2.0 to Fico III

    When the media informed about an unexpectedly high electoral turnout shortly after the election, no one still had any idea just how surprising the results of the Slovak general election would be.

  2. Croatian Parliamentary Elections 2015. In Search of a Bridge Over Trouble Water

    While the ongoing ideological struggle between the right-wing parties in government and the center-left opposition is in full swing, Croatia continues to face an adverse economic climate and an unresolved problem with its neighbors regarding the issue of migrant and refugee movements on the way to northern Europe. It is far from certain that MOST will be able to act as the bridge over troubled waters that it framed itself as during the election campaign.

  3. The result of Azerbaijani parliamentary elections. Dominance of the ruling party under uncertainty

    At the moment, there are virtually no signs or signals from the Government of Azerbaijan pointing toward democratic reforms. All international criticism is brushed away as propaganda and the government actively promotes ideas to undermine an international political order where it is regarded as a deviant country lacking respect for the rights of its own citizens.
