The Retreat of Liberal Democracy : Authoritarian Capitalism and the Accumulative State in Hungary Paperback / softback
by Gabor Scheiring
Part of the Challenges to Democracy in the 21st Century series
Paperback / softback
Description
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 Orbán’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.
