What explains the speed, course and character of autocratization? How can we explain the political trajectories of countries? How far do explanations lie in the choices made by political actors, the challenges of incumbency, economic conditions, and foreign interference and disinformation? Moreover, why have actors seeking to resist the forces opposing autocratization found it so hard not just to win power, but to consolidate their electoral victories and sustain public support. Furthermore, when illiberal forces have lost support how and why have the dynamics of party competition in post-illiberal settings created new openings for radical actors? This panel focuses on one of the regions at the heart of much debate surrounding democratic backsliding and resilience: Central and Eastern Europe. The panel plans to bring together leading experts on the politics of several countries in the region who will offer insights into developments in their specific countries and provides comparative reflections.
