Abstract

Abstract All ECE countries have covered the same historical trajectory of ‘the third-generation autocracy’, but Hungary has been reaching its ‘perfection’, since the two-thirds, constitutional supermajority in the Hungarian case has allowed for the Orbán regime to complete this ‘reverse wave’ in all fields of society and turning it into a zombie democracy. The conceptual frame of this paper is that the decline of democracy and the turn to autocratisation can be presented in ECE in the three big stages of the Easy Dream, Chaotic Democracy and Neoliberal Autocracy in the three corresponding decades. The paper concentrates on the third stage in its three shorter periods taking 3–4 years as the DeDemocratisation, Autocratisation and DeEuropeanisation. The Hungarian case has been presented in this paper in a comparative ECE view as its worst-case scenario that also sheds light on the parallel developments in the fellow ECE countries.
奥尔班政权是“完美独裁”:匈牙利“僵尸民主”的出现
摘要所有欧洲经委会国家都经历了“第三代专制”的相同历史轨迹,但匈牙利一直在达到其“完美”,因为在匈牙利的案例中,三分之二的宪法绝对多数允许奥尔班政权在社会的各个领域完成这一“反向浪潮”,并将其变成僵尸民主。本文的概念框架是,民主的衰落和向专制的转变可以在欧洲经委会的三个大阶段中呈现,即在相应的三十年中的“轻松之梦”、“混乱的民主”和“新自由主义独裁”。本文集中讨论了三个较短时期中的第三阶段,即去民主化、自治化和去欧洲化,耗时3-4年。本文以欧洲经委会的比较观点介绍了匈牙利的情况,认为这是最坏的情况,也揭示了欧洲经委会其他国家的平行发展。
