The national-conservative government of Hungary has been heavily
criticised for its violation of EU values, primarily, the rule of
law in recent years. This book looks to the bigger picture in
examining the rule-of-law debate between Hungary and the EU. It
explores how certain elements of various Hungarian constitutional
reforms are interrelated and how the EU has failed to address the
situation properly. It is argued here that the reason the EU has
been unable to enforce its values effectively in Hungary stems from
the misunderstanding that Hungary kept the institutional design of
liberal democracy but made it dysfunctional. The debate with the EU
is characterised as a dialogue of the deaf as the EU insists on
advancing the rule-of-law agenda, while the Hungarian government
defends itself by alluding to its democratic legitimacy. The author
contends that the Hungarian government is in fact playing a
charade, while the actions of the EU maintain this drama. The book
will be of interest to students, academics, and policymakers
working in the areas of constitutional law and politics, EU law,
and populism.
