This paper introduces and reports the first results of a research project on the emerging billionaire-entrepreneurs of the Visegrád countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). The increasing visibility of V4 billionaire-entrepreneurs has largely happened under the radar of recent scholarship, and their economic activities — including increasingly significant outward FDI towards the West — seem to defy the dominant thesis of the Visegrád countries' economic dependence on foreign capital.

The Oxford Computational Political Science Group (OCPSG) is pleased to announce its speaker event w/ Prof Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey, FBA and Amara Otero-Salgado. They will be presenting their paper 'Measuring Empirically the Legal Conflicts over U.S. Public Lands from 1960 to 2024'. It seeks to better understand how conflicting views over public lands have evolved over time, namely by examining empirically a newly developed dataset to assess competing narratives that have driven legal battles in the U.S. in the modern era of environmental policy.
