This book is the product of three years of empirical research, four
years in politics, and a lifetime in a country experiencing three
different regimes. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, it
provides a fresh answer to a simple yet profound question: why has
liberal democracy retreated? Scheiring argues that Hungary's new
hybrid authoritarian regime emerged as a political response to the
tensions of globalisation. He demonstrates how Viktor Orban's
Fidesz exploited the rising nationalism among the working-class
casualties of deindustrialisation and the national bourgeoisie to
consolidate illiberal hegemony. As the world faces a new wave of
autocratisation, Hungary's lessons become relevant across the
globe, and this book represents a significant contribution to
understanding challenges to democracy. This work will be useful to
students and researchers across political sociology, political
science, economics and social anthropology, as well democracy
advocates.
