The UNC-CH Center for European Studies’ Fall Friday Lecture Series kicks off on Friday, August 26th, at noon with a talk given by Professor Milada Vachudova. This event is open to the public and will take place on the 4th floor of the FedEx Global Education Center at noon.
Talk title: “The Challenge of Ethnopopulism and Authoritarian Rule in Europe”
Professor Milada Anna Vachudova specializes in European politics, political change in postcommunist Europe, the European Union and the impact of international actors on domestic politics. Her recent articles explore the trajectories of European states amidst strengthening ethnopopulism and democratic backsliding – and how these changes are impacting party systems and the European Union. She is a Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is also part of the core team of the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES) on the positions of political parties across Europe. She served as the Chair of the Curriculum in Global Studies at UNC from 2014 to 2019. Her book, Europe Undivided: Democracy, Leverage and Integration After Communism (Oxford University Press) was awarded the Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research.
