The result of this meeting is both a collection of academic proceedings in which individual authors attempted to point to selected issues in the topics discussed. At the same time, they have raised a number of topics that will be the subject of further scientific debates in the near future. This event launched another activity of our faculty’s scientific team - a series of scientific debates between long-time scientists and new graduates in PhD studies, resulting, amongst other things, in the superiority of our PhD students’ scientific outputs. I believe that the introductory year and the outcomes of it will become the basis of a new tradition that will benefit everyone from. Peter HORVÁTH Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences 7 Current Trends and Public Administration THE ELECTORAL AFTERMATH: NEW WAVE POPULISM AND RADICALISM IN SLOVAKIA1 Jaroslav MIHÁLIK Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava [email protected] Abstract The electoral success of new political platforms in recent parliamentary elections in Slovakia had raised the political and public awareness. The major concerns are related to the rise of populism, radicalism and a potential of new political platforms and leaders to take part in the political process and decision-making. From this reason, we argue about the new patterns of political leadership as implied from the parliamentary elections with the focus on the coalition potential and the political implications resulting from the popular support of alternative political parties. The major aim of the paper is to discuss, using the content analysis and secondary research of public opinion, the current trends of policy- making in Slovakia related to the aspects of the electoral results and their aftermath. Key words elections, populism, radicalism, political leadership, Slovakia INTRODUCTION The latest parliamentary elections in Slovakia took place on March 5th 2016. The spring elections have brought several topics for discussion. First of all, the results pointed on the weaknesses of the traditional political parties that have established in Slovakia throughout it short period of independence. Secondly and, perhaps most importantly the electoral process and the results have brought new political parties into 1 The authors gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the Scientific Grant Agency of the Slovak Republic under the grant 1/0339/17: The dynamics and comparison of institutional consolidation of far-right political parties and movements in the Czech Republic and Slovakia 9 Conference Proceeding the parliament, especially the party of Marian Kotleba Peoples´ Party - Our Slovakia that has been ever since its establishment subject of many academic and public discussions. The other new political platform that gained popular support is just recently emerged political movement of businessman Boris Kollár – We are family. Another topic resulting from the parliamentary elections is the rise of negative campaign, anti-EU rhetoric of political leaders but also radicalization and extremism among voters. Such trends were mostly visible in the Czech Republic prior to Slovak elections.1 Since it is not an easy task to develop the clear cut categorization and ideological spectrum of the new parties, the scholars usually argue with the measures of populism and far-right political orientation which may be quite correct in spite of the anti-systematic orientation, rejection of traditional conventions and political parties in Slovakia. The other surprise of the elections is the step back of the voters of the Christian Democratic Movement which, for the first time in the Slovak history had not passed the parliamentary threshold of 5% of popular vote. These issues are inevitably bound with the changing nature and moods of the Slovak voters, the political processes and social and economic deprivation in various regions as well as tight international relations escalated through the very recent refugees´ crisis and migrants´ influx to Europe.2 The spread of fear, paranoia, and national securitization campaigns as well as the negative campaign have all mobilized the voters to stress the position of nation state in Europe and to support, sometimes, non-democratic policy making, more authoritarian approach and rather populist and antagonistic approach to democratic values. In this paper we aim to confront the electoral results with the popular support as interpreted throughout the research of public opinion polls as well as the research with
