This book gives the first comprehensive and theoretically
substantiated political science account of the Orban regime in
English. It argues that Viktor Orban's regime-building and
reconstructive leadership is more than just an example of
hybridisation, a successful populist appeal or a backlash against
the earlier neoliberal hegemony in Central Europe. It unfolds the
major traits of the Orban regime and argues that it provides a
paradigmatic case of the Weberian model of plebiscitary leader
democracy (PLD). Beyond explaining the backslide of liberal
democracy in Hungary, the book aims at two additional contributions
of wider significance. First, by applying the concept of PLD to the
Hungarian case, it reveals that the authoritarian elements are
products of an endogenous drive of modern mass democracy. Second,
through the glass of PLD, the Orban regime can be seen as an
experimental lab of global trends like mediatisation and
personalisation of politics, populist style, the deconsolidation of
liberal democratic order, and what is often labelled as "post-truth
politics". This book will be of key interest both to scholars and
students of Hungary, Post-communist and Central and East European
politics and to those interested in populism, democratisation and
democratic deconsolidation as a broader trend in a variety of
countries.
