In this episode of Studio Central and Eastern Europe, political scientist Jeroen Van den Bosch, co-author of the newly published Encyclopedia Tyrannica, joins Ria Laenen, lecturer in Russian and International Politics at KU Leuven, for a conversation that spans both the conceptual and the geopolitical.
Together, they explore how the idea for this ambitious encyclopaedia—a research guide to totalitarianism—took shape, and what it finds in common between authoritarianisms across the globe. Why do the Asian republics—once integral to the Soviet Union and still of strategic global importance—remain a blind spot in Belgium, even among political science students?
