20.500.12556/RUL-177569 Populist (dis)engagement with international parliamentary institutions central Europeans in the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe How do populist politicians behave in international parliamentary institutions (IPIs)? Although there is a rapidly growing literature on the foreign policy of populist executive actors, the manifestation of populism as a thin-centred ideology in an international parliamentary setting is not yet understood. This paper aims to alleviate this knowledge gap by analysing how Central European populist parties engaged with the European Parliament (EP) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) from 2019 to 2024, focusing on the highly politicised issues of the rule of law and democracy, immigration and the Russia-Ukraine War. Using a mixed-methods approach combining statistical analysis with qualitative case studies, we offer two main findings. First, the salience of IPI strongly indicates populists’ tendency to disengage from the institution. Second, compared to other ideological positions, being a member of a farright party has a significant positive effect on voting against resolutions and abstaining or not voting. populism engagement Central Europe European Parliament Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2025-12-24 10:36:43 2025-12-24 10:36:49 2026-01-02 03:55:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 67–91 no. 4 Vol. 19 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-19 32:061.1EU 1805-482X 10.51870/FVPK3384 262883843 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17432087 Raziskovalni podatki 1 9f196f60-e0ab-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224648 RAZ_Holanyi_Akos_2025.pdf RAZ_Holanyi_Akos_2025.pdf 1 3B9038304401969F607F863E83A017B7 ea1601784d0bfac31b08560a01b279cd2604a2eeb860dea4a79e59497c571751 242b8195-e0ac-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224657 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
