Neo-authoritarianisms in Europe and the liberal democratic response (AUTHLIB)

Making liberal democracy more resilient

Democracies are increasingly becoming more vulnerable as ideological opponents gain momentum. But in order to reinforce and stabilise democracy, we must understand the challenges it faces. The EU-funded AUTHLIB project will investigate the varieties of neo-authoritarian, illiberal ideologies in Europe, especially in Poland, Hungary, Czechia, France, Italy, Austria, and the United Kingdom. It will focus on the historical, social and psychological causes, organisational background and political implications. To do this, AUTHLIB will perform laboratory and online survey experiments, review textual data and social media and conduct surveys of experts and citizens to map ideological configurations. The results will give policy makers the information they need to enhance support for liberal democracy.
