Gábor Scheiring’s research examines why and how the crisis of liberal globalism becomes embodied in individual suffering, the unraveling of everyday life, and social disintegration across peripheralizing economies, asking why this polycrisis leads to decline and illiberalism in some contexts and renewal in others. He is the author of the award-winning Retreat of Liberal Democracy (Palgrave, 2020) and of dozens of studies published in leading journals across multiple disciplines. He is an Assistant Professor at Georgetown University Qatar, with previous appointments at Harvard University, the University of Cambridge, and Bocconi University. A former member of the Hungarian Parliament (2010–2014), he brings firsthand knowledge of the political dynamics his research examines.
