Opening II. on the day of the conference
Branislav Kováčik – Dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences and International Relations of the Matej Bel University
Introductory presentation (tbs)
Erik Jones – Director of the Robert Schuman Center, European University institute in Florence
What does science tell us about the development of regions? How does economic inequality affect discontent and threaten democracy?
Panel discussion
Annotation: What does science tell us about the uneven development of regions and the rise of democratic discontent? Across Europe, the rise of populism reflects the "revenge of the cities that don't matter" – communities that lack access to economic development and have been abandoned by social and political systems. This panel discussion will explore the 'geography of discontent', focusing on regions experiencing long-term decline, social exclusion and rising populism. Slovakia, one of the most centralized countries in Europe, faces deep regional disparities, making it a key case for understanding how economic marginalization fosters political instability. Join us as we explore the links between economic inequality, regional stagnation and growing support for populist movements across Europe and beyond, and consider the global implications of these trends for democracy and governance.
