| Jaroslav Usiak | Department of Security Studies | Professor in International Relations, Vice-Dean for International and Public Relations | [email protected] | His expertise is in international relations and security studies, which is itself a broad range of several areas of scholarly focus. The first area is defined by theoretical knowledge and research theories (securitisation, constructivism, critical approaches). The second area focuses on research on current and emerging security threats (including threats for democracy) to the state and its position within them. The third area was naturally profiled in conjunction with the first two areas, when the need for the application phase of the achieved knowledge naturally tended to the immediate surroundings, primarily for the needs of the Slovak Republic as well as the wider Central European area. He is also devoting primary attention to the societal sector and the problem of identities and radicalisation (polarisation) of the society. | https://brill.com/display/book/9789004435148/BP000015.xml https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/the-rise-of-populism-in-central-and-eastern-europe-9781802205527.html https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-16-5792-4_4 |
