Abstract

Abstract The study, leaning on the concept of ‘authoritarian equilibrium’ introduced by R. Daniel Kelemen on the one hand, and new intergovernmentalism as a fresh theoretical approach of the European integration on the other hand, investigates if we can talk about the disruption of the ‘authoritarian equilibrium’ as a consequence of the split up between Fidesz and the EPP, and the adoption of the rule of law conditionality mechanism. In other words, whether we can talk about an initial authoritarian dis-equilibrium? Or can we rather talk about a converse process due to the mechanisms of new intergovernmentalism resulting in the further stabilisation of authoritarian governments and the ineffectiveness of the EU measures devoted to the protection of rule of law? Using qualitative resource analysis of the relevant secondary literature and the documents and legal acts of the EU and its institutions the paper comes to the conclusion that while we have witnessed efforts to disrupt the partisan and the financial support of the Hungarian governing party, these efforts were neutralised by the mechanisms of new intergovernmentalism and as a consequence we still cannot talk about an initial authoritarian disequilibrium in the EU.
打破欧盟内部威权均衡的努力。效果和反效果
摘要本研究一方面借鉴R·丹尼尔·克勒曼提出的“威权均衡”概念,另一方面借鉴作为欧洲一体化新理论途径的新政府间主义,探讨了青民盟和欧洲人民党分裂对“威权平衡”的破坏,以及采用法治条件机制。换言之,我们是否可以谈论一个最初的威权不平衡?或者,由于新的政府间主义机制导致威权政府的进一步稳定,以及欧盟致力于保护法治的措施无效,我们可以谈论一个相反的过程吗?通过对相关二手文献以及欧盟及其机构的文件和法律行为的定性资源分析,本文得出结论:尽管我们目睹了破坏匈牙利执政党党派和财政支持的努力,这些努力被新的政府间主义机制所抵消,因此我们仍然不能谈论欧盟最初的威权失衡。
