%T Comparing Orbánism and Gaullism: the Gaullist physiognomy of Orbán's post-2010 Hungary %A Soós, Eszter Petronella %J Studia Politica: Romanian Political Science Review %N 1 %P 91-108 %V 15 %D 2015 %@ 1582-4551 %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-446950 %X The right wing Hungarian governing party (Fidesz - Alliance of Young Democrats), often refers to France and French Gaullism as a political inspiration. This paper asserts that, despite some limitations, Gaullism is a viable analogy for better understanding the nature of Orbánism. The article identifies the major characteristics of Gaullism and Orbánism in order to systematically compare them by addressing the topics of: national grandeur and the importance of foreign policy; anti-liberalism, populism and etatism; antiparliamentarism; charismatic leadership and direct democracy; legality and legitimacy; the creation of a new constitution and the movement's approach to history. The concluding remarks discuss the limits of the analogy and make suggestions for further analyses. %C MISC %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
