This chapter explores the Kremlin’s intentions and the responses of Central and East European countries with relatively pro-Russian politics prior to the war. Russia aimed to minimise the target country’s contribution to Ukraine’s war efforts and support of Western sanctions, while nudging them to maintain cooperation. The form and impact of Russia’s actions differed based on the socio-political contexts, which are illustrated with three case studies: Hungary, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Findings are theorised with the use of analytical framework developed by Crawford and Klotz in 1999 that identifies four models of influence – ‘compellance’, ‘normative communication’, ‘resource denial’, and ‘political fracture’. The cases are not clear-cut but, broadly speaking, each falls into one of three categories – Hungary into the normative communication, Serbia into the resource denial, and Bulgaria into political fracture – based on predominant patterns, while compellance can be perceived in each country. Domestic and international policy, energy politics, and the characteristics of energy systems in the target countries all shape sanction design in addition to which the dominant political leadership’s penetration of domestic society is especially pertinent in shaping the sanction design, its effect, and the responses of the receiver of the sanctions.}, year = {2025}, pages = {119-137}, orcid-numbers = {Deák, András György/0000-0002-8623-1912; Szabó, John/0000-0002-8224-1013; Weiner, Csaba/0000-0002-9524-1215} } @article{MTMT:35432607, title = {Authoritarian governance of academia in Central and Eastern Europe: Chances of a European counter-culture}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35432607}, author = {Ziegler, Dezső Tamás}, doi = {10.1017/S2045381724000078}, journal-iso = {GLOB CONSTITUTIONALISM}, journal = {GLOBAL CONSTITUTIONALISM: HUMAN RIGHTS DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {35432607}, issn = {2045-3817}, abstract = {This article highlights the challenges of external reactions to authoritarian higher education governance in certain Central and Eastern European countries, especially Hungary and Poland. It interprets the political change in these countries as an authoritarian cultural backlash, which is not just a legal or political problem, but a kind of post-fascist cultural revolution contesting the liberal script. First, the article explains the framework of authoritarian policing in academia based on the more general works of Bob Altemeyer and Zeev Sternhell. Second, it tries to answer the question: What tools could counter these tendencies from the perspective of the European Union? As the article interprets the rise of authoritarianism as a phenomenon rooted in the cultural deficit of the countries concerned, it argues that a programme for a democratic and pluralist cultural counter-revolution should be implemented. However, no nation can be democratized solely by external actors, and the basics of democratic thinking should be developed from the grassroots level. If the crisis in academia is rooted in a value-crisis within the societies concerned, then measures countering this phenomenon should also include promoting Enlightened pluralism at all levels of these societies.}, keywords = {Eastern Europe; Poland; Hungary;; Authoritarianism; academic freedom}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2045-3825}, pages = {159-181}, orcid-numbers = {Ziegler, Dezső Tamás/0000-0002-5750-1573} } @article{MTMT:35710658, title = {Delegated Diplomacy: How Ambassadors Establish Trust in International Relations, written by David Lindsey}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35710658}, author = {Peragovics, Tamás}, doi = {10.1163/1871191x-bja10202}, journal-iso = {HAGUE J DIPL}, journal = {HAGUE JOURNAL OF DIPLOMACY}, volume = {20}, unique-id = {35710658}, issn = {1871-1901}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1871-191X}, pages = {163-165}, orcid-numbers = {Peragovics, Tamás/0000-0002-5954-8164} } @article{MTMT:35868463, title = {Mindig Hitler közelében.

The conclusions are mixed. Drawing on a distinction between strong and weak theories of political obligation (in the terminology of the paper, strong theories are committed to morality-based theorizing while weak theories depart from it), the article argues that philosophical anarchism and realist theory are natural allies against strong theories of political obligation but they must part company when it comes to weak theories because it is exactly their departure from morality-based theorizing that can make weak theories especially appealing to realists. In addition, two further objections can be raised against philosophical anarchism on realist grounds: first, philosophical anarchists are drawn to undesirably sweeping conclusions about the non-existence of legitimate political authority or the extreme scarcity of genuine political relations by their Kantian or Lockean background assumptions and, second, Simmons seems to have an implicit weak theory of political obligation which could be, ironically, much more appealing to realists than his overall Lockean anarchism or his sweeping criticism of weak theories. All in all, can a realist be an anarchist?
