- [PROJECT](https://erc-pact.eu/project/) - PACT: "Populism and Conspiracy Theories" When, how, why, and to what effects do populists articulate conspiracy theories? Does their significance change when parties move from the opposition into power? Do populist leaders employ conspiracy theories more frequently in cultures where they are stigmatized because this allows them to fashion themselves as anti-establishment? Or do they
- [Brazil](https://erc-pact.eu/project/brazil/) - This subproject explored the intersections of populism and conspiracy theories in Brazil. Drawing on extensive field research with Bolsonaro supporters in the aftermath of the 2022 presidential elections, it examined the intricacies of far-right conspiracy theories surrounding the election results. Combining ethnography and anthropological theory with insights from history, political theory, and sociology, this project

The research focused on the Five Star Movement (5SM), a political party founded in 2009 and widely recognized both for its almost textbook populist features

In the past decade(s), Soros conspiracy theories, not just in Hungary, but in the broader region of Central and
- [Poland](https://erc-pact.eu/project/poland/) - Despite the burgeoning interest in right-wing populism and conspiracy theories in recent years, little attention has been devoted to their convergence in present-day Poland. What role do these phenomena play in a country shaped by a turbulent history and collective memories of foreign domination, contested truths, and betrayal? What meaning do they acquire within a
- [MEDIA](https://erc-pact.eu/media/) - The current mimicry of conspiracy theories is thus not only a bad or strategic copying of officially accepted ways of making sense of the world but also an echo of what scholarly discourse used to be. To complicate things further, the current public discourse on conspiracy theories also sometimes mimics conspiracist claims by relying on
