Charles University,
Faculty of Law
The ERP began in 2019 as a Cotutelle PhD project at the Department of Constitutional Law at the Charles University, Faculty of Law, and has also received generous support from the Charles University Grant Agency (grant No. 462120 ‘Anti-Establishment Parties: Threat to Democracy or Chance for its New Equilibrium?’ in the amount of 648,000 CZK (EUR 26,300)). Special thanks go to professor Jan Wintr, who supervised the PhD project at Charles University, for his advice and never-ending patience, and professor Marek Antoš, head of the Department of Constitutional Law, for his continuous support.
Ca’ Foscari University of Venice,
Department of Economics
Alongside Charles University, the PhD project has also been carried out at the Department of Economics at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. First, under the supervision of professor Andrea Pin (University of Padova) and, later, under the supervision of professor Andrea Biondi (King’s College London), both of whom I am highly indebted for leading me through the rough waters of a PhD research and for giving me supportive feedback and words of encouragement.
Cardiff University,
Centre of Law and Society
The ERP has also been realised thanks to the great opportunity to participate in the Visiting Scholar programme at the Cardiff University, Centre of Law and Society, from January to June 2022. Special thanks go to professor Jiří Přibáň, my academic sponsor at the Centre of Law and Society, for the opportunity to discuss my ideas with him and for the friendly mentoring not only in the field of sociology of law but also in the scholarly work and life.
King’s College London,
The Dickson Poon School of Law
I have also greatly benefited from the opportunity to participate in the Visiting Research Student Programme at the Dickson Poon School of Law of King’s College London in November 2022 under the academic sponsorship of professor Andrea Biondi.
The Establishment Research Project has been realised
thanks to the support of the following organisations:
