Abstract

In this chapter, to understand the nature and dynamics of the attacks against the IC, we first reconstruct the process of contestation in each country separately. Countries are discussed in chronological order based on when contestation of the Convention intensified (Poland in 2012, Croatia in 2016, Hungary in March 2017, Bulgaria in September 2017). Next, we compare and contrast the constellations of oppositional actors, their strategies and the frames they use to challenge the Convention. While retaining our focus on distinctive national features, we discuss the transnational embeddedness of these oppositional campaigns. The final section teases out the emerging transnational aspects from the national cases.
