The Rise of Viktor Orban: A Case Study in Authoritarianism
This chapter explores Viktor Orban's ascendancy to power in Hungary, driven by socio-political discontent post-2008 financial crisis, and parallels with global populist movements. It details the systematic dismantling of democratic structures under Orban's regime and the innovative but ultimately ineffective protests against his authoritarian measures.
