Political Potential of Conspiracy Theories. A Study of Poland and Slovenia

Teorije zarote so že dlje časa predmet znanstvenih raziskav, zlasti v političnih znanostih, v sociologiji in na polju psihologije. Večavtorska knjiga "Political Potential of Conspiracy Theories: A Study of Poland and Slovenia", ki sta jo uredila profesor dr. Miro Haček z Univerze v Ljubljani in profesorica dr. Agnieszka Turska-Kawa s Šlezijske univerze v Katovicah, ponuja podroben pregled političnih posledic in vplivov teorij zarote v srednjeevropskih državah. Študije, predstavljene v večavtorski knjigi, prispevajo k razumevanju tega, kako teorije zarot vplivajo na politično zaupanje, javno dojemanje politike in javnih politik ter na volilno vedenje. Knjiga s poudarkom na slovenskih in poljskih študijah primerov ponuja primerjalni pristop k analizi družbeno-politične dinamike pod vplivom teorij zarote, še posebej po velikih svetovnih dogodkih, kot sta pandemija COVID-19 in rusko-ukrajinska vojna. Večavtorska knjiga »Politični potencial teorij zarote: študija Poljske in Slovenije« uspešno združuje empirične podatke s teoretičnimi spoznanji z namenom pokazati, kako teorije zarote vplivajo na zaupanje v institucije, volilno vedenje in politično polarizacijo. Knjiga ponuja dragocene lekcije za druge države, zlasti v regiji srednje in vzhodne Evrope (CEE), ki se spopadajo s podobnimi izzivi.

Conspiracy theories have long been the subject of scientific research, particularly in political science, sociology, and psychology. The multi-authored book "Political Potential of Conspiracy Theories: A Study of Poland and Slovenia", edited by Professor Miro Haček from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Professor Agnieszka Turska-Kawa from the Silesian University in Katowice, Poland, provides a detailed overview of the political consequences and impacts of conspiracy theories in Central European countries. The studies presented in this volume contribute to understanding how conspiracy theories influence political trust, public perceptions of politics and public policies, and voting behaviour. Focusing on Slovenian and Polish case studies, the book adopts a comparative approach to analysing socio-political dynamics under the influence of conspiracy theories, particularly following major global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian war. "The Political Potential of Conspiracy Theories: A Study of Poland and Slovenia" successfully integrates empirical data with theoretical insights to demonstrate how conspiracy theories affect trust in institutions, voting behaviour, and political polarisation. The book offers valuable lessons for other countries, especially in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, facing similar challenges.
