Abstract

ABSTRACT The EU’s activation of Article 7 procedures against Hungary and Poland signals that it is beginning to take seriously the illiberal turn in Central Europe. However, the likelihood that the EU can restrain populist and illiberal tendencies in Hungary and Poland in the near future is slim. Despite the efficacy of the EU and other international organizations in promoting liberalism in these countries in the past, similar efforts are hobbled by a lack of political will and by significant bureaucratic hurdles. The impetus to protect the liberal institutions and practices developed after the collapse of communism must come from the combined efforts of additional external actors and, most of all, by strong pressure from below.

欧盟能阻止东欧的非自由转向吗？

欧盟针对匈牙利和波兰启动第7条程序，标志着欧盟开始认真对待中欧的非自由主义转向。然而，欧盟在不久的将来遏制匈牙利和波兰的民粹主义和非自由主义倾向的可能性很小。尽管欧盟和其他国际组织过去在促进这些国家的自由主义方面发挥了作用，但由于缺乏政治意愿和严重的官僚主义障碍，类似的努力受到了阻碍。保护共产主义崩溃后发展起来的自由制度和实践的动力必须来自其他外部行动者的共同努力，最重要的是来自底层的强大压力。

期刊介绍： Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society is a political-science journal dedicated to advancing political theory with an epistemological bent. Recurrent questions discussed in our pages include: How can political actors know what they need to know to effect positive social change? What are the sources of political actors’ beliefs? Are these sources reliable? Critical Review is the only journal in which the ideational determinants of political behavior are investigated empirically as well as being assessed for their normative implications. Thus, while normative political theorists are the main contributors to Critical Review, we also publish scholarship on the realities of public opinion, the media, technocratic decision making, ideological reasoning, and other empirical phenomena.
