🇦🇹 In my op-ed for @NZZ, I look at how Austria reinvented itself after the Habsburg collapse — and, with Musil’s words, how to weltösterreich today: by embracing an active foreign policy toward the East and the Balkans. nzz.ch/meinung/der-we…


My op-ed for @DiePressecom: Beneš Decrees are still used to expropriate Ger & Hun minorities in SK. Criticism is now criminalized. Viktor Orbán stayed silent, prioritizing ties with Robert Fico over minority rights. 🇸🇰 diepresse.com/20427344/benes…


my op-ed about austrian identity & foreign politics for @nzz

Das kleine republikanische Österreich wollte die Mission der Habsburgermonarchie fortführen: als Brücke nach Osten und Südosten die europäische Einigung voranzutreiben. Was ist von der beherzten Idee eines «Weltösterreich» geblieben? nzz.ch/meinung/der-we…

Today SK marks the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, even if it’s no longer a public holiday. My op-ed for @DiePressecom is about the midterm of Fico’s gov and whether liberal values are enough or the social issues also need to be addressed. 🇸🇰 diepresse.com/20316226/halbz…

Leading independent Slovak daily ⁦@dennikN⁩ quoted me in this in-depth analysis about #Meloni’s true face “Pragmatička v EÚ, konzervatívna nacionalistka doma. Dve tváre Meloni sa podobajú Ficovi, Orbánovi aj Trumpovi” ⁦@WeissovaSonadennikn.sk/4948684/pragma…

Unabhängige Medien in Osteuropa kämpfen vielfach mit politischem Druck und wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten. Mehr dazu in RGOW 10/2025: shorturl.at/gwpQc @Forum_RGOW



Interview with me at the @oeaw about why Hungary has become an illiberal regime, why democracy is about protecting minorities, why there’s no such thing as a single, unified "people", and why legal scholarship shouldn’t try to control politics and law. oeaw.ac.at/news/ungarns-i…


🇨🇿 My analysis of CZ elections for @DiePressecom in comparison with HU&SK 🇭🇺🇸🇰 (no majority for Babiš&Motorists = no HU scenario; gov with SPD would be unstable = SK scenario; Babiš&Motorists are pro-NATO, and mostly pro-EU = better than SK scenario). diepresse.com/20179527/regie…


A bit of light summer reading from me in @NZZ on ethnopluralism, Carl Schmitt, Alain de Benoist, and why the Habsburg Empire managed more stability than the nation-state ever did. nzz.ch/meinung/anders…


My op-ed in @DiePressecom on whether Orbán's downfall has already begun, and why many see Péter Magyar as Hungary’s 'last chance'. 🇦🇹🇭🇺 diepresse.com/19855669/so-od…


I was asked in @sn_aktuell about the ban on #Pride in Budapest: Orbán is using identity politics to distract from problems while trying to divide the opposition. Strategy failed: this year’s Pride turned into a large demonstration against the government. sn.at/politik/weltpo…
