Call for Participation: How Financial Interests Shape Democracy – Lessons from Central Easter Europe’s Democratic Transition

Deadline: April 4, 2025

Democracies worldwide face mounting internal and external threats (Wolf 2023). Domestically, neoliberal reforms—particularly financial deregulation—have deepened inequality (Stockhammer 2013, Lin and Tomaskovic-Devey 2013), eroded social solidarity (Brown 2019), and depoliticized key distributional policies (Burnham 2001, Harvey 2011). Internationally, financial liberalisation has facilitated tax evasion (Palan et al. 2010, Shaxson 2011, Wojcik 2013) and pressured governments to cut social provision (Streeck 2017), further weakening social cohesion. Meanwhile, global finance has enabled autocratic regimes to reinforce one another and disrupt democratic societies through misinformation (Applebaum 2024). These trends took hold in democratic societies in the 1980s and accelerated while the former Eastern Bloc underwent its democratic transitions.
