Beskrivelse
Embedded Autocracy: Hungary in the European Union considers the new Hungarian autocracy as a political regime that is deeply entrenched in the make-up of Hungarian society. The deterioration of the social conditions of democracy did not begin in 2010, when Viktor Orbán came to power, so it cannot be reduced to a leadership issue only. András Bozóki and Zoltán Fleck avoid the trap of historical determinism as well. The Orbán's regime is not based solely on the autocratic traits of the leader, nor on simply institutional failures, but on social contexts and cultural configurations. The analysis employed in this book is complex. Hungary's democratic future depends on our ability to understand the mechanisms of autocracy embedded in society. Scenarios for the destruction of democracy are voluminous, and autocratic legalism is one of them, which requires complex analytical tools to understand. Bozóki and Fleck describe the unexpected collapse of Hungarian democracy with the aim of contributing to the exposure of the structural weaknesses of contemporary democracy. Understanding the operational characteristics of the first autocratic regime within the European Union will contribute to the success of those policy makers who aspire to guard the stability of democracy.
