Abstract Details

2020, Artium Baccalaureus (AB), Ohio University, Political Science.
Populist politics has been on the rise for the last decade across the world. In Poland, the far-right populist party, Law and Justice (PiS), has taken power using a blend of nationalism and memory politics. PiS' memory politics focuses on Polish victimhood during the Second World War, the Communist era, and the present day as a member of the European Union. As a result, PiS has taken aggressive measures to institutionalized its memory regime, which has drawn international attention, notably with the 2018 Holocaust Law. This thesis examines PiS' methods compared to previous governments' use of memory politics and how memory and populism intersect.
