The original data created by the project can answer the question to what extent judicial decisions constrained the room for manoeuvre of the legislation. Nevertheless, it is only one way to approach judicial-legislative relations by focusing on the constraint exerted by the courts on the legislatures. The other side of the story tells us which factors might have influenced courts and judges in taking strong or weak decisions. While there are several theoretical models which try to explain judicial behaviour and, indirectly, the strength of judicial decisions, here we will focus only on some selected models and summarize the main findings of the country studies in this respect. Keeping in mind these limitations, we will focus on three basic factors (institutional design, political context, event-related variables) which can explain judicial behaviour and ruling strength after presenting descriptive statistics on the diversity and strength of the courts’ decisions in Europe.

Recent developments in Hungarian politics have been widely researched, but mostly without giving due atten-tion to political thinking. The article argues that the reception of Schmitt’s works, both in academia and in public discourse, has significantly influenced political thinking in Hungary throughout the 20th century and in recent decades. By reading the history of reception, the article aims to confirm that depoliticization and politicization are not diametrically opposed in the sense that the former stands for the elimination of politics. Rather, depoliticization and politicization follow from each other, as Schmitt himself described the impossibility of neutralizing politics. Beginning with the 1920s, this article examines three periods of Schmitt’s reception and shows that, after attempts of depoliticization, Schmitt was increasingly acknowledged as an author who argues for an overtly politicized account of politics. In terms of political thinking, this last development has defined the context of Hungarian politics since the 2010s.

After separating three different periods of the Hungarian Constitutional Court, it explores what kind of relationship could be discerned between the political activism of the court and the strength of its decisions. One of the main findings of our quantitative research is that political polarization of the court started well before the 2010 elections and that the first court led by László Sólyom constrained less the room for manoeuvre of the legislature in politically salient issues than previously supposed in the literature. We conclude that it was rather the third court after 2010 which actively interfered in the legislative process and constrained more heavily the legislature than any other court previously. While becoming increasingly severe in politically relevant cases, the Hungarian Constitutional Court has been transformed from a cohesive one to a more divided one – well before the court-packing and struggle with the government after the 2010 election.
