Short description:
This book offers a deep historical and theoretical investigation into how this authoritarian, populist regime has evolved. Backlash from globalization in the 21st century, dissatisfaction with the European Union and international fiscal institutions have created a situation in which Orbán's regime is able to thrive.
Long description:
Under the tenure of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the political system in Hungary has moved significantly in an autocratic direction, yet there is a lack of research explaining the historical context, political landscape and drive behind this shift.
This pocket-size overview of authoritarian populism in Hungary is for scholars in political science and history. The book seeks to understand historical and contemporary factors that contributed to the rise of the authoritarian, populist Orbán Regime of contemporary Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Hungarian populism is investigated in the context of European, and especially Eastern European, history of the 20th century and political events and trends in the EU in the 21st century. The book draws on the ideas of Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Michael Hardt, and Antonio Negri; the first part of the book offers an overview of their relevant ideas. One major theme is the relationship between neoliberalism and state autocracy. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
This book offers a deep historical and theoretical investigation into how this authoritarian, populist regime has evolved. Backlash from globalization in the 21st century, dissatisfaction with the European Union and international fiscal institutions have created a situation in which Orban?s regime is able to thrive. New kinds of autocracy cannot be properly understood without a thorough analysis of Eastern Europe?s development in the 20th century and the neoliberal agenda before and after the regime changes. There is a major oversight in the contemporary literature regarding the historical and theoretical origins of right-wing authoritarian populism in Hungary.
This book explores the main factors behind the Orbán regime including the country?s authoritarian populist past, the charismatic charm of populist leaders, and cooperation between neoliberal and state autocracy. By providing a thoroughly researched historical narrative and offering an alternative critique of right-wing populism, this text will prove invaluable for researchers seeking to understand Eastern European history and politics, as well as populism, authoritarianism and neoliberalism more broadly.
