Prof. Carsten Q. Schneider has co-authored a new article:
“Strongmen” Don't Redistribute: Illiberal Leaders on the Right and Worsening Economic Inequality
(Illiberal Politics in Europe, Vol. 13, 2025)

Using data from 38,000+ speeches across 120 countries and advanced machine learning models, the study shows that illiberal leaders on the right increase economic inequality, despite promises of redistribution.

We are proud to share that Alexandra Niculae, a second-year MA student in Political Science at CEU, recently participated in the ASN 2025 World Convention, co-hosted by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University in New York City.

Alexandra presented her paper titled “Crusader of the Orthodox Nation: Copying the Hungarian Populist Instrumentalization of Religion in Romania” as part of the Religious and National Minorities panel.
