I believe it takes a village to do a PhD and I am greatly indebted to everyone who has been with me throughout these years.

[Franziska Wagner @fra_wagner_]

I am extremely happy to announce that I have successfully defended my PhD dissertation on Friday. This would not have been possible without the years of supervision by Zsolt Enyedi. I am also very grateful for my panel @MarikenVelden, Gábor Simonovits & my chair @AndrasBozoki1

Interesting insight for #German politics: Political discussions are primarily polarized between establishment parties and radical parties. This is in contrast to the other eight countries where the primary divide is between the political left and right.

New Open Access Alert 🚨
@LiliiaSablina, Bálint Mikola, and I just published a new article on how Russian and Central European illiberal actors (FPÖ, Fidesz) legitimate each other through their discourse in @EEPolitics.

[Franziska Wagner @fra_wagner_]

We show how the same, reciprocal narrative frames are being used when they discuss energy policy, economic conflicts and particularly the war in Ukraine.
💡Cooperation of illiberal actors already starts at the domestic level through mutual legitimation
