The Energy Security Threat to the European Political Order
‘Energy security, in terms the consumer understands, needs to address three things: reliability, affordability, and acceptability, in that order.

Internal Conflicts and Future Alternatives for European Integration
‘If we are looking for a more idealistic, right-wing conservative solution to the puzzle, we have to question the current form of the EU as it is. It may be appealing to the economic right, but it contains very little for the social right.

The Sources of Hungarian Conduct — Part I
‘After 20 years of left–liberal rule, Fidesz’s goal was to stimulate the creation of a much more balanced and pluralistic environment in all segments of society and a country less dependent on any form of foreign influence. In the eyes of ordinary Hungarians, none of the experiences described above called into question the benefits of EU and NATO membership or the conviction that Hungary’s place is in the West.’
From Scholar to Consumer — A Brief History of Student Identity
‘Students have moved from being political change agents to being themselves the object of political change.
