- To critically analyze the concept of populism: Is populism an inherent feature of politics?
- To discuss the historical and ideological roots of Central European populism: What has influenced the formation of populism in Central Europe?
- To ask whether the features shared by the Central European states outweigh their differences and
- whether there is such phenomenon as "Central European populism".
