Position: Junior researcher jaroslav.bilek@fsv.cuni.cz
Jaroslav Bílek's main areas of research interest are authoritarian regimes, electoral manipulation, political repression and relations between the government and its army. All these topics are naturally related to the issue of populism, polarization and the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have observed that different types of political regimes react differently to the situation.
