Maciej Smółka: "Disco Polo as a Political Tool: Music in Poland’s Identity Politics"
07.06.2022
The recent renaissance of disco polo’s popularity in Poland can be seen not only as an artistic trend, but also as an intentional strategy, strengthening the ruling party’s electoral base.

Artur Gruszczak: "The Russian Aggression Against Ukraine: Visegrad Four – Hey, Are You There?"
22.03.2022
The Russian military invasion of Ukraine has exposed the weaknesses of the Visegrad cooperation as a regional forum of like-minded governments. The silence of the V4 Group proves that it has not overcome the deepening dissensus between the ostensibly pro-Russian Hungarian government and the other V4 countries increasingly fearful of Russia’s neo-imperialist stance.
