لغز أوربان | كيف حوّل ليبرالي سابق المجر إلى مختبر عالمي غير ليبرالي

The book reveals the workings of Orbán's regime in Hungary and assesses how his political style has influenced countries and voters around the world. How did a simple boy from the Hungarian countryside end up leading his country's political life for decades? How did he, as Prime Minister of a small Central European country, become one of the most influential illiberal rulers in the world? How and why did Hungary become a laboratory for new authoritarianism? What geopolitical game is Viktor Orban playing between continental alliances and global powers? This book is a political biography of Orbán, but it also provides a straightforward historical analysis of Hungary after 1989. What began as an incomplete, albeit full-fledged, democracy was replaced by a new constitutional order. Orbán's Hungary is a persistently extreme electoral authoritarianism, with two overlapping models: Putin's Russia and Trump's new America. _The book "The Orban Enigma"_explains how democratic backsliding in Hungary became a thorny issue for the Western political community; It traces how, over fifteen years, Orbán's regime established illiberal governance while maintaining Hungary's global relations through the European Union and NATO. Stefano Bottoni's timely study reminds us that democracy dies if it loses its spirit and civic commitment.
