Dániel Kovarek is a Research Fellow at the Florence School of Transnational Governance within the European University Institute (EUI). His work focuses on political science, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, with expertise in survey data methodology, distributive politics, clientelism, and political behavior related to parties, elections, and voting. Kovarek utilizes experimental approaches to analyze political representation and public administration challenges in the region.
Research Trends: Kovarek’s recent publications explore Hungarian political dynamics, including opposition realignment in the 2024 European Parliamentary elections, local political networks generating policy externalities under weak bureaucratic oversight, and democratic innovations in party manifestos. His experimental work also investigates anti-immigrant sentiment drivers in Hungary, linking them to labor market competition and welfare state models.
