Abstract:
As a canonical object of social sciences, the revolutionary phenomenon provoked numerous comparative approaches in sociology, history and political sciences. Which statement can we draw from the international comparison of revolutions? On the strength of the scientific literature and of his own searches about the fall of communism in Poland and about the Tunisian revolution, Jérôme Heurtaux will point out the advantages and the limits of the comparative exercise, and will make the case for a controlled and an erratic comparison.
JÉRÔME HEURTAUX is director of the French Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences (CEFRES) in Prague. He is a specialist in regime change and in democratic transitions. Among his several publications belong La démocratie par le droit. Pologne 1989-2016 (Presses de Sciences po, 2017), Introduction à l’Europe postcommuniste (avec Frédéric Zalewski, De Boeck, 2012) and 1989 à l’Est de l’Europe. Une mémoire controversée (in co-direction with Cédric Pellen, L’Aube, 2009). He publishes in 2019 Pologne, 1989. Comment le communisme s’est effondré (Éditions Codex).

Whereas the fall of communism in 1989 was considered as a victory of democracy on authoritarism, thirty years later, the region is facing a wave of populist movements among the most virulent in Europe. How can we understand this paradox? In his book, Roman Krakovský offers a historical insight into east-central European populism.
Roman Krakovský is historian, lecturer at Geneva University, specialized on east-central Europe. Author of:
– Réinventer le monde. Le temps et l’espace en Tchécoslovaquie communiste (Publications de la Sorbonne, 2014)
– L’Europe centrale et orientale de 1918 à la chute du mur de Berlin (Armand Colin, 2018)
He has just published: Le populisme en Europe centrale. Un avertissement pour le monde ? (Fayard, 2019)
This debate is part of CEFRES Visegrad Forum and follows a book presentation in Bratislava, 4.11.2019.
