Serbien im Wahlkampf: Aleksandar Vučićs Partei kontrolliert heute den gesamten Staatsapparat
Work cited in a Swissinfo analysis of the 2023 Serbian election campaign and how Vučić's party has systematically captured the state apparatus.
My research on democratic backsliding and minority exclusion was cited in this Swissinfo analysis of Serbia's December 2023 election campaign (November 2023), which examined how President Vučić's party has systematically extended its control over the entire state apparatus while suppressing independent media. The article drew on scholarly work — including my own — on the dynamics of electoral authoritarianism and the institutional conditions that enable parties to entrench themselves in power. The piece highlighted how opposition fragmentation and state capture reinforce one another, making democratic reversal increasingly difficult even through electoral means.
