• In-depth analysis of political polarization in Poland and Hungary

This book makes a significant contribution to understanding the political dynamics in Central Europe. The author analyzes political polarization based on three different approaches: one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and multi-dimensional. The one-dimensional approach is based on the ideological distance between parties, the two-dimensional approach takes into account the disappearance of the political center, and the multi-dimensional approach refers to both the polarization of elites and society.

Studies conducted on the basis of data from the Manifesto Project Database and the Chapel Hill Expert Survey allow for a detailed comparative analysis of the party systems of Poland and Hungary. The author not only identifies similarities and differences between these systems but also attempts to predict how polarization processes will develop in both countries in the future. This makes the book extremely current and valuable for anyone interested in politics and society.

Adam Marszałek Publishing House presents readers with a publication that will certainly contribute to deepening knowledge about political polarization and its impact on contemporary societies. This book is not only a valuable source of information for political scientists and students but also for anyone who wants to better understand the mechanisms governing the modern world of politics. The 159x232 mm format, paperback binding, and 483 pages full of analysis and conclusions guarantee a satisfying read.
