Det populistiska uppsvinget i postkommunistiska Europa - En komparativ analys av populismens form och karaktär i Ungern och Slovakien

Sammanfattning: The populist pattern in the post-communist Europe has growed and today it has a wide foundation to lean on. Two countries that have experienced several successful populist parties since the collapse of the communist system in 1989, are Hungary and Slovakia. I will here ask what the reasons for this breeding ground are and how the effects of globalisation affect this specific context. In order to do that, I have examined the term populism and its many fields of use. To explain this phenomenon, I have used globalisation as a frame for the postcommunist populism in order to see an entire picture of explanations, connections and reasons behind this politic reality and between different sorts of populism. I have found cetrain characteristics in what I here call the national-field and also in the globalization-field, concerning real or constructed problems that evokes a feeling of dissatisfaction, that in turn sets the ground for populistic movements.
