場所：東大本郷法文3号館203会議室報告題："Slouching Toward Authoritarianism? Hungary underFidesz-Hungarian Civic Alliance Since 2010"
報告要旨：
Weoften associate democratic failure with highly visible violations of democraticnorms including military coups, imprisonment or intimidation of the opposition,and major electoral fraud. This lecture examines a different form of potentialdemocratic erosion, in which democratically-elected leaders employ legal buttechnocratic means to entrench their power. In Hungary's 2010 nationalparliamentary elections the Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Alliance party captured overtwo-thirds of the parliamentary seats, giving it super-majority power. Since2010 Fidesz has used its authority to centralize power in controversial ways.What has Fidesz done and in what ways Is it endangering democracy?
