Authoritarianism, History and Democratic Dispositions in Austria, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic

Résumé du livre

Based on a questionnaire-assisted survey, this study casts light on the relationship between authoritarianism as an individual disposition, support for democracy, political participation, new political authoritarianism, anomia and group specific misanthropy in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. Of particular interest is the comparison that is made possible in this way between Austria, with its authoritarian and totalitarian past, and three post-Communist countries.
