Scott Romaniuk is visiting fellow at the International Centre for Policing and Security at the University of South Wales, UK.

“Romaniuk's argument about the relationship between domestic counterterrorism policies and the position of civil society organizations is compelling and contributes to our knowledge in this under-theorized area. Well-grounded in primary sources and interviews, he constructs an argument which is generalizable well beyond the Hungarian case. A must-read for scholars of comparative politics and democratization.”
