About the Book

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.

Review :
must-read book “This book is a terrific critical analysis of the 'de-democratization' of the Hungarian regime under the four-term rulership of Prime Minister Viktor Orban. I can't imagine a better informed or more informative and interesting book on Hungary's descent into illiberalism and 'embedded autocracy.' Written by Bozoki and Fleck, two of the top Hungarian scholars and public intellectuals writing on the topic, it will be indispensable for experts and generalists alike.” “How do you embed an autocracy? Unless you are handed one on a plate it can take a lot of work. But it rarely starts from scratch. Many autocratic ingredients are likely there already, but it needs a sinister master chef who knows how to combine them, augment them with flavours and spices of his own, and then keep stirring the pot. Hungary had the ingredients, and it has the chef. That is the story of the regime that has ruled Hungary since 2010. It is a remarkable story, here well and insightfully told, in all its layered, excruciating, and ultimately bitter detail. Not a happy one, but fascinating and remarkably complex. The book turns out to be both a recipe-book for a particularly unpalatable concoction, and a thriller with no happy ending in sight.” “Delve into the labyrinth of Hungary's political landscape with Embedded Autocracy: Hungary in the European Union. Bozóki and Fleck go beyond the superficial, unveiling the entrenched roots of Hungarian autocracy within society. Their nuanced exploration peels back the layers of the Orbán regime, revealing a complexity that continues past leadership or institutional shortcomings. This interdisciplinary work, straddling the realms of political science and legal scholarship, isn't just about Hungary-it's a beacon for global democracy. Essential for policymakers and scholars alike, it offers vital insights into understanding and combating the erosion of the rule of law and democratic decline.”
