POPREBEL

Welcome to the POPREBEL project! POPREBEL – Populist rebellion against modernity in 21st-century Eastern Europe: neo-traditionalism and neo-feudalism is a large Horizon 2020-funded research project on the rise of populism in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of POPREBEL is to describe the phenomenon, create a typology of its various manifestations, reconstruct trajectories of its growth and decline, investigate its causes, interpret its meanings, diagnose its consequences, and propose policy solutions.
