Democratic Institutions under Attack

A  couple of weeks in, 2021 shows signs of being as eventful as the  previous one. In the first episode of the new year, Wojciech Przybylski  and Quincy Cloet look at what the storming of the US Capitol means for  world politics and Central Europe in particular, where autocratic  leaders have been inspired and abetted by the Trump playbook. Closer to  home, incitation to violence and attacks on democratic institutions have  also emerged in recent years. Besides, we discuss the January events of  1991 in Lithuania, how Czechia and Slovakia perceive the EU, followed  by state power and digital media in Poland.
