The geopolitical hallmark of the region is its intermediary position at the crossroads between major cultural and political hegemonies. Its collective memory can be characterized by five common historical wounds (traumas), which have had a decisive impact on social and religious transformations: (i) the lack of national sovereignty, (ii) the refusal to provide protection for minority groups, (iii) politically-determined social mobility, (iv) persecution of religions, churches and dissidents, and (v) genocide and other cases of mass killing. The pervasive presence and political instrumentalisation of this wounded collective identity can (and perhaps should) be taken as the preeminent explanatory factor when interpreting the present-day success of populism and the social role of religion and the churches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Andr\u00e1s M\u00e1t\u00e9-T\u00f3th received a doctorate in Catholic Theology from the University of Vienna (1991) and a second doctorate in Communication Science from the University of P\u00e9cs (2011).In 2000, he founded the Department for the Study of Religions at the University of Szeged and has directed it until today.
