• Projekt

    The project aims to analyze European state security responses to political violence to fulfill the following objectives: (1) identifying precisely the political contexts in which the violence occurred; (2) examining how relationships between empirical data on political violence rates and the determined sources of violence function as indicators of greater trends of violent extremism in specific countries. As applied to Greece, Romania, and Ukraine as national case studies and as subjects for comparative analysis, the fulfillment of these objectives within this project offers promise in developing more effective responses to political violence and in assessing political systems across a vital security region.

    The project orients itself around the following research question: How do state security forces in Greece, Romania, and Ukraine respond to and mitigate politically violent events? From this core question, important sub-questions follow that reflect the particular regional focus of the project. For example, does European Union (EU) membership have a demonstrable effect on how the violence is responded to? Does a previous legacy of illiberalism impact the current structures of state security institutions? Does a given state's security response vary depending on who the perpetrators are?
