Table of ContentsReviewsThis edited volume on presidential rhetoric in post-Soviet Central and Eastern Europe features a set of clearly and crisply written chapters that provide theoretically informed analyses and critiques of political discourse in Poland, Romania, Belarus, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovakia—places beyond the reach of rhetorical scholarship not so long ago. It examines presidential rhetoric building national identity, modeling prudential leadership, and more.

Ivie Professor Emeritus, English (Rhetoric) and American Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington The emergence of the institution of the presidency, albeit in different constitutional forms, has marked Central and Eastern Europe’s detachment from the legacies of communist rule.

The essays bring forth novel and nuanced insights into the role of presidential rhetoric in the region’s transformation, demonstrating its renewed relevance on the global political stage.
