Keith Prushankin is a Ph.D. candidate in political science at the Free University Berlin, a researcher at the “Contestations of the Liberal Script” Cluster of Excellence, and a former Europaeum Scholar. He is also lecturing at Free University Berlin in a seminar on US-Russia Relations. His research interests include populism, authoritarianism, and nationalism in post-communist countries.
In this episode, we discuss Keith’s paper and presentation recently given, titled “How To Break A State: How Populists Challenge Liberalism In Post-Communist Central Europe.” This is largely based on his dissertation thesis.
This is the second time Keith has been on the podcast, always a thrill to talk. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
