we would like to invite you to our fourth event in the seminar series which is jointly organised by the Austrian Institute for International Affairs (oiip) and the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw):
The Political Economy of Contemporary Populist Authoritarianism: The Examples of Poland, Serbia and Turkey
The world has been experiencing a retreat of democracy and a rise in populist authoritarianism. The V-Dem Report for 2025 highlights that 38% of the world’s population is now affected by autocratization. This happens amid accelerating economic inequality and rising support for right-wing parties that capitalise on anti-establishment sentiment. Contemporary populist authoritarianism manifests in various forms and degrees; however, all these regime types share a certain degree of opacity, informality, and a tendency towards the personalization of power. They often promise a better life for ordinary people, yet tend to concentrate wealth further in the hands of the ruling elite. In the fourth Episode of our Europe in a Fragmented World: Geo-economic and Geo-political Dynamics Series*, the panel will explore the political and economic DNA of contemporary authoritarian regimes and their impact on the economy, using Poland, Serbia, and Turkey as examples."

REGISTRATION
* The seminar series, titled Europe in a Fragmented World: Geo-economic and Geo-political Dynamics, jointly organised by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) and the Austrian Institute for International Affairs (oiip), aims to analyse geopolitical and geoeconomic trends and their impact on Europe’s future from an interdisciplinary perspective. The series seeks to contribute to the ongoing debates on how to reposition Europe within an increasingly politically unstable and economically competitive international system.
We are looking forward to your participation!
