“…That Hungarian Premier Viktor Orbán, in his 2014 speech in Băile Tuşnad (an ethnic Hungarian enclave in the heart of Romania), propagated the agenda of building an "illiberal state" within the European Union is not likely to advance the category's academic career. 36 With a number of recent publications, notably the weighty Routledge Handbook of Illiberalism 37 and the Journal of Illiberalism Studies, 38 the discourse on illiberalism can be expected to gain momentum, but will also have to deal with a dazzling multiplicity of classifications and readings.…”

“Democratic regression,” the “retreat of western liberalism,” the “return” or “renaissance” of authoritarianism or the “third wave of autocratization” − these are some the many labels for diverse phenomena − or problems of authority − that plague societies in the Global North and South. Commonly, such problems of authority are specified as pathological practices of corruption or institutional defects, deviant forms of governance or pathological symptoms of representation and participation. Their semantic specification and interpretive framework are delivered by three camps − with contested, porous borders and considerable intersections and agreements − under the signifier illiberalism, populism or authoritarianism. All of them claim, each camp speaking from its peculiar vantage point, the authority to interpret the phenomena mentioned above. In this article the “properties” − advantages and failures − of the three frameworks are discussed and brought into a conversation with one another.

“…4 4 On ‘illiberalism’ and its genealogy, see Sajó et al (2021) and Laruelle (2022). The term ‘illiberal democracy’ has been rationalised and praised (Pappas, 2019) as well as criticised (Müller, 2016) within the adjacent study of populism.…”

Far right: The significance of an umbrella concept

This contribution makes the case for a shift in boundaries between the (populist) radical right and the extreme right, arguing for the systematic use of the term 'far right'. The significance of a deliberately generic but fundamentally meaningful concept such as 'far right' is motivated by the growing links between illiberal-democratic ('radical right') and anti-democratic ('extreme right') collective actors. This begs considering the conceptual grounds for differentiation among far-right collective actors, their underlying dynamics, and why it is important to look at what they do to tackle this phenomenon in practice-that is, to extrapolate their ideological essence and their varying allegiances to democracy. The complexity of far-right politics questions the longstanding conceptual distinctions internally defining it. The use of an umbrella concept may thus enhance precision in the discussion of this phenomenon, at the same time highlighting the unfolding of a new phase in nativist politics.

“…Authoritarian models of democracy have a long history and a likely future. 4 It is fine to defend a substantively liberal conception of democracy provided you do not pretend that it is the only canonical possibility.…”
