Research Colloquium: Think Tanks, Education, and Democratic Backsliding ...

This project examines the role of right-wing think tanks in producing and disseminating ethnonational narratives in Israel and Hungary. It analyzes how these institutions define “the people,” where they draw its boundaries, and how these narratives enter public discourse and education. The study approaches think tanks as intellectual actors in the struggle for hegemony.
