Lexington Books Embedded Autocracy: Hungary in the European Union - Lexington Books

Explore the complex political landscape of Hungary with Embedded Autocracy: Hungary in the European Union. Published by Lexington Books, this work provides a deep look into the Hungarian political regime and its place within the European Union. Instead of focusing solely on the rise of Viktor Orban in 2010, authors Andras Bozoki and Zoltan Fleck examine how the current political state is rooted in the existing makeup of Hungarian society. This book moves beyond simple explanations of leadership or institutional failures. It looks at how social contexts and cultural configurations have shaped the country. By avoiding historical determinism, the authors offer a nuanced perspective on why democratic conditions have changed. This text is an essential resource for readers interested in political science, European history, and the study of how modern autocracies function within established international frameworks.
