Slovakia: The Exception?

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Brief Description

This roundtable brings together four of the leading experts on Slovak politics to discuss recent trends in Slovakia's politics. The main topic will be whether these developments make Slovakia an exception to the "backsliding" seen in several countries in the region.
A roundtable is the most appropriate format since participants will be analyzing very recent, and possibly rapidly changing, developments.
