Book Talk: When Left Moves Right: The Decline of the Left and the Rise of the Populist Right in Postcommunist Europe
Please join the Harriman Institute for a book talk by Maria Snegovaya. With discussant Sheri Berman and moderator Alexander Cooley.
The book traces this process in postcommunist Europe on different levels of analysis: cross-country observational data, case studies, and individual-level experimental surveys. It argues that scholars should incorporate the economic policy dimension when explaining the demise of the left and the rise of the populist right in the region. It also examines important parallels between the dynamics of Western and postcommunist countries by arguing that the idiosyncrasy of Eastern European politics has been overstated in scholarly literature.
