  • The Political Context of Eu Accession in Hungary
    European Programme November 2002 THE POLITICAL CONTEXT OF EU ACCESSION IN HUNGARY Agnes Batory Introduction For the second time since the adoption of the Maastricht Treaty – seen by many as a watershed in the history of European integration – the European Union (EU) is set to expand. Unlike in 1995, when the group joining the Union consisted of wealthy, established liberal democracies, ten of the current applicants are post-communist countries which recently completed, or are still in various stages of completing, democratic transitions and large-scale economic reconstruction. It is envisaged that the candidates furthest ahead will become members in time for their citizens to participate in the next elections to the European Parliament due in June 2004. The challenge the absorption of the central and east European countries represents for the Union has triggered a need for internal institutional reform and new thinking among the policy-makers of the existing member states. However, despite the imminence of the ‘changeover’ to a considerably larger and more heterogeneous Union, the domestic profiles of the accession countries have remained relatively little known from the west European perspective. In particular, the implications of enlargement in terms of the attitudes and preferences of the new (or soon to be) players are still, to a great extent, unclear. How will they view their rights and obligations as EU members? How committed will they be to the implementation of the acquis communautaire? In what way will they fill formal rules with practical content? BRIEFING PAPER 2 THE POLITICAL CONTEXT OF EU ACCESSION IN HUNGARY Naturally, the answers to these questions can only government under the premiership of Miklós Németh be tentative at this stage.

Case Studies HUNGARY: EARLY ILLIBERALISM ADOPTER Of the five case countries considered under the scope of this proj ect, Hungary has experienced the most dramatic reversal in national policy orientation during the 2004–2014 period. At the begin- ning of the study period, Hungary was among the best performers in Central Eu rope in terms of its good governance practices and was steadfast in its Euro- Atlantic orientation, having acceded to NATO in 1999 and the Eu ro pean Union in 2004. Yet, as the de cade progressed, Hungary experi- enced a marked deterioration in demo cratic governance standards following its 2010 parliamentary elections. The center- right Fidesz majority government under the leadership of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has taken steps to consolidate the government’s control over and restrict demo cratic institutions and has advocated for an illiberal approach toward governance. The Orban administration has revised the Hungarian constitution five times since 2010 by redefining voting and election laws, and the Fidesz- led parliament has passed legislation that increases the government’s control over Hungary’s judiciary, media, and central bank. The government has also been criticized for passing laws that fail to protect civil liberties and the rights of minorities.

  • Political Conflict, Social Inequality and Electoral Cleavages in Central-Eastern Europe, 1990-2018
    World Inequality Lab – Working Paper N° 2020/25 Political conflict, social inequality and electoral cleavages in Central-Eastern Europe, 1990-2018 Attila Lindner Filip Novokmet Thomas Piketty Tomasz Zawisza November 2020 Political conflict, social inequality and electoral cleavages in Central-Eastern Europe, 1990-20181 Attila Lindner, Filip Novokmet, Thomas Piketty, Tomasz Zawisza Abstract This paper analyses the electoral cleavages in three Central European countries countries—the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland—since the fall of communism until today. In all three countries, the left has seen a prolonged decline in support. On the other hand, the “populist” parties increased their support and recently attained power in each country. We relate this to specific trajectories of post-communist transition. Former communist parties in Hungary and Poland transformed themselves into social- democratic parties. These parties' pro-market policies prevented them from establishing themselves predominantly among a lower-income electorate. Meanwhile, the liberal right in the Czech Republic and Poland became representative of both high-income and high-educated voters. This has opened up space for populist parties and influenced their character, assuming more ‘nativist’ outlook in Poland and Hungary and more ‘centrist’ in the Czech Republic. 1 We are grateful to Anna Becker for the outstanding research assistance, to Gábor Tóka for his help with obtaining survey data on Hungary and to Lukáš Linek for helping with obtaining the data of the 2017 Czech elections. We would also like to thank Ferenc Szűcs who provided invaluable insights. 1 1. Introduction The legacy of the communist regime and the rapid transition from a central planning economy to a market-based economy had a profound impact on the access to economic opportunities, challenged social identities and shaped party politics in all Central European countries.

  • Elections As Opinion Polls

Ladislav Chudík, a well respected actor and Slovakia’s first post-communist Minister of Culture, told some 15,000 people gathered where the mass demonstrations started in Bratislava that the way Slovakia was living now was the result of how Slovakia voted, and the way it’ll vote next year will determine the way it will live in the future. In the given context, he vas voicing Slovak opposition’s complaints about the ruling party, the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS1), often seen as personified in its leader and Prime Minis- ter Vladimír Mečiar. The opposition criticizes the ruling coalition for a number of un- democratic acts and finds itself incapable of passing bills in Parliament and influencing the cabinet’s policies. The West shares the opposition’s concerns about Slovakia’s gov- ernment and turned Slovakia down for early membership in NATO. Ladislav Chudík’s words reflected the view generally held by Slovak opposition poli- ticians and often expressed not only by the Western media, the media in its former fed- eral partner, the Czech Republic, as well as in Slovakia, but also by Slovakia’s opposi- tion intellectuals and scholars.

  • Elections and Fears in the European Periphery: Populism and Euroscepticism1
    Elections and Fears in the European Periphery: Populism and Euroscepticism1 Daniel Smilov Elections in many EU member states are being decided on the basis of wide-spread fears. Successful parties and candidates are normally those, who best express and probably even fan such fears. As a result, the political mainstream is under significant pressure: more and more voters distrust pro- European, supra-national, progressive type of politics which relies on the coordination among a plurality of equal actors. Instead, there is a tendency to support more clear-cut chains of command and authority, expedience, narrowly defined national interests. This, I argue, is the platform of what could be called ‘populism of fear’ – a specific type of ideology, which becomes more and more successful as a tool for voter mobilization. Recent events – the crisis in the Eurozone, the refugee crisis and the terrorist acts are only going to amplify this tendency. Daniel Smilov is Associate Professor at the Political Science Department, University of Sofia, and Programme Director at the Centre for Liberal Strategies, Sofia. He is also Recurrent Visiting Professor of Comparative Constitutional Law at the Central European University, Budapest. Smilov holds doctorates from the University of Oxford (DPhil, 2003) and the Central European University, Budapest (SJD, 1999). He has published extensively on the topics of populism and constitutionalism in Eastern Europe, and comparative party and campaign finance. Smilov is a regular commentator on Bulgarian political developments in the Bulgarian press and in the international media. ‘The Rise of Populism’ has become an umbrella concept used to explain political developments in a striking variety of contexts.2 The brand ‘populists’ is associated with political actors as diverse as the Tea Party in the US, Berlusconi and his associates in Italy, the UKIP in the UK, Fidesz in Hungary, Smer in Slovakia, PiS in Poland, and the former tzar of Bulgaria Simeon Sax Cobburg Gotha and his body guard/successor Boyko Borissov.

  • Comparative Political Data Set, 1960-2019 Codebook
    1 Codebook: Comparative Political Data Set, 1960-2019 Codebook: COMPARATIVE POLITICAL DATA SET 1960-2019 Klaus Armingeon, Sarah Engler and Lucas Leemann The Comparative Political Data Set 1960-2019 (CPDS) is a collection of political and institutional data which have been assembled in the context of the research projects “Die Handlungsspielräume des Nationalstaates” and “Critical junctures. An international comparison” directed by Klaus Armingeon and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This data set consists of (mostly) annual data for 36 democratic OECD and/or EU- member countries for the period of 1960 to 2019. In all countries, political data were collected only for the democratic periods.1 The data set is suited for cross-national, longitudinal and pooled time-series analyses. The present data set combines and replaces the earlier versions “Comparative Political Data Set I” (data for 23 OECD countries from 1960 onwards) and the “Comparative Political Data Set III” (data for 36 OECD and/or EU member states from 1990 onwards). A variable has been added to identify former CPDS I countries. For additional detailed information on the composition of government in the 36 countries, please consult the “Supplement to the Comparative Political Data Set – Government Composition 1960-2019”, available on the CPDS website. The Comparative Political Data Set contains some additional demographic, socio- and economic variables. However, these variables are not the major concern of the project and are thus limited in scope. For more in-depth sources of these data, see the online databases of the OECD, Eurostat or AMECO. When using data from this data set, please quote both the data set and, where appropriate, the original source.

  • Main Right Party Responses to Radical Populist and Extremist Party Positioning in Central Europe
    Main Right Party Responses to Radical Populist and Extremist Party Positioning in Central Europe. Paper prepared for the ECPR Joint Sessions Workshop, Salamanca Spain April 10-15, 2014 Reinhard Heinisch, Kristina Hauser [email protected], [email protected] University of Salzburg Austria Abstract: Drawing on data from the Chapel Hill Expert Survey and case profiles, the paper traces the interaction between main right parties and (radical) right party competitors, to determine, whether the former adopt dismissive, accommodationist-convergent, accommodationist-cooperative, or, adversarial responses. Assuming that main right parties are forced to respond strategically to right party competitors, we examine in this the role of the dominant cleavage structure (socioeconomic or socio-cultural), the initial position of the main right party, the cost/pressure associated with changing a long-established position, the issue dimension involved (economic vs. exclusivist), and decision of cooperating with parties with more complementary or more compatible positions. Drawing on the literature, we argue that regime legacies and the role of the EU accession process on party realignment have structured party competition such that contestation occurs primarily over socioeconomic or socio-cultural issues. In the latter case, we expect main right parties to move to the right either to converge on positions of a far-right competitor or to prevent challenges from the right. If contestation is centered on the economic issue dimension, we assume main right parties be more constrained in their ability to accommodate right party competitors and rather engage in cooperation to form a right or center-right bloc to compete with a center-left bloc.
