We conducted a survey in Hungary and compare the responses to direct questions about deservingness to the results of a vignette-based survey experiment in which the deservingness criteria were translated to characteristics of hypothetical mothers. Our results show that in the absence of deservingness cues (direct questions), respondents relied on the attitude, reciprocity/control, identity (measured by traditional family values), and need criteria to the same extent. On the other hand, in the presence of specific deservingness cues (vignette experiment), people disregarded their family values and stereotypes, and the perceived need became the strongest predictor of single mothers’ deservingness.

In sharp contrast, Hungary’s Fidesz party has systematically compensated minimum wage increases with cuts in employer social contributions and has refrained from assigning developmentalist aims to labor cost increases. Both parties have cultivated a cross-class electoral base and have faced electoral trade-offs in emphasizing minimum wage increases.

States are investigated as actors which strongly contribute to the neoliberal project amidst a more complex process of multilocalized and variegated neoliberalizations, which have to be incorporated into the comparative research. First, Italy is studied as a consolidated Western democracy which has been often governed by technocrats, independent, non-party professionals who have recurrently been in power since the 1990s, and within the frame of an increasingly technocratic European Union. Second, the paper concentrates on Hungary, a semi-peripheral Central European country which has become an epitome of a populist nationalism with increasingly authoritarian traits.

This novel angle on the European context enables research on a scarcely researched aspect: how familism is used to render non‐heterosexual rights illegitimate. Turning to Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s rhetorical understanding of politics, I show how the rhetorical use of the family legitimizes anti‐LGBTQ+ sentiments. I focus on the Hungarian “Child Protective Law,” passed by the illiberal Fidesz‐KDNP government in 2021. The content analysis of the material shows how the Hungarian government’s aspiration to protect children, both as crucial members of heterosexual nuclear families as well as symbols of the illiberalist future of the country, legitimizes anti‐LGBTQ+ stances. This happens, first, through a discursive link between LGBTQ+ people and child abuse. Second, it occurs through the government´s familistic ideal of the Christian heterosexual family, which also constitutes its antagonistic frontier as the LGBTQ+ community. I argue for a new articulation of the illiberal “us” and its liberal frontier, where the ideal family, and in particular heterosexuality, function as a means of exclusion.

In this country different institutions and welfare workers have existed for many decades who have sought to influence childrearing practices. The paper argues that in order to unravel the specific character and importance of current instances of state intervention we need to examine the everyday practices of caseworkers, which are guided not only by relevant policies, but also by dominant norms of ideal parenting. Based on year-long ethnographic research the paper shows how a shift in our approach to parenting have been transforming caseworkers’ assessments of parental competence and explanations for initiating child removals during the past decade. While earlier neglect was assessed mostly in material terms, we can currently witness a shift towards the assessment of emotional ties between mothers and their children. However, these are extremely subjective and fluid notions that allow for the individual judgments and dominant values of social differentiation to play an ever more influential part in caseworkers’ decisions.}, keywords = {parenting; NEGLECT; child welfare; Social differentiation; caseworkers}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2416-089X}, pages = {48-65}, orcid-numbers = {Szőke, Alexandra/0000-0002-2097-2726} } @article{MTMT:33459437, title = {A telepfelszámolás és a lakhatási politika szerepe a marginalizált társadalmi csoportok térbeli és társadalmi mobilitásában}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33459437}, author = {Virág, Tünde}, doi = {10.51624/SzocSzemle.2022.4.1}, journal-iso = {SZOCIOLÓGIAI SZEMLE}, journal = {SZOCIOLÓGIAI SZEMLE}, volume = {32}, unique-id = {33459437}, issn = {1216-2051}, abstract = {A tanulmányom egy egykori szocialista iparvárosban készített esettanulmány alapján elemzi a romák városon belüli térbeli, társadalmi pozíciójának változását.

Then, taking stock of the recent populism literature, the article elaborates an ideal type of populist policy making along the dimensions of content, procedures and discourses. As an empirical illustration we apply a qualitative congruence analysis to assess the conformity of a genuine case of populist governance, social policy in post-2010 Hungary with the populist policy making ideal type. Concerning the policy content, the article argues that policy heterodoxy, strong willingness to adopt paradigmatic reforms and an excessive responsiveness to majoritarian preferences are distinguishing features of any type of populist policies. Regarding the procedural features populist leaders tend to downplay the role of technocratic expertise, sideline veto-players and implement fast and unpredictable policy changes. Discursively, populist leaders tend to extensively use crisis frames and discursive governance instruments in a Manichean language and a saliently emotional manner that reinforces polarisation in policy positions. Finally, the article suggests that policy making patterns in Hungarian social policy between 2010 and 2018 have been largely congruent with the ideal type of populist policy making.}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2183-2463}, pages = {71-81}, orcid-numbers = {Bartha, Attila/0000-0002-4590-2142} } @article{MTMT:31481334, title = {Drivers of Government Activity in European Countries: Do Partisan Politics Still Divide East and West?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31481334}, author = {Beckmann, Joscha and Schweickert, Rainer and Ahlborn, Markus and Melnykovska, Inna}, doi = {10.1111/jcms.13025}, journal-iso = {J COMMON MARK STU}, journal = {JOURNAL OF COMMON MARKET STUDIES}, unique-id = {31481334}, issn = {0021-9886}, abstract = {This article takes a novel look at the relationship between government activity, partisan preferences and varieties of capitalism.

The combination of high debt-free homeownership rates with illiquid housing finance and limited rental markets produces conditions where housing restricts independent household formation and likely has a restrictive effect on fertility. We first assess the housing regime type in East Central Europe and demonstrate that it closely corresponds to the "difficult housing regime" in Southern Europe, which has well-established negative effects on independent household formation and fertility. Then we present a detailed case study of Hungary, which is a country with very low fertility rates and substantial changes in housing finance and policy over time. In particular, the issue was recently politicized through housing policies centered on household formation to counter the demographic crisis. We present a detailed analysis of policies related to access to housing for young adults through increased access to markets or state housing support schemes. These policies attempted to reduce dependence on families, but after the crisis, we find that these policies reinforce, rather than challenge, dependence on families for housing solutions, thereby limiting independent household formation. While these policies may serve a rhetorical role demonstrating a state response to the demographic crisis, we claim that their impact on fertility can be at most minimal because of stringent restrictions in access that concentrates on upper-middle-income households and limited financial commitment.}, keywords = {Hungary; fertility; Housing; East Central Europe; housing regime}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1533-8371}, orcid-numbers = {Makszin, Kristin/0000-0002-3595-5515} } @article{MTMT:31772158, title = {From neoliberal disembedding to authoritarian re-embedding: The making of illiberal hegemony in Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31772158}, author = {Scheiring, Gábor and Szombati, Kristóf}, doi = {10.1177/0268580920930591}, journal-iso = {INT SOCIOL}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL SOCIOLOGY}, volume = {35}, unique-id = {31772158}, issn = {0268-5809}, abstract = {This article presents and empirically substantiates a theoretical account explaining the making and stabilisation of illiberal hegemony in Hungary.

Finally, the article describes the emergence of a new regime of accumulation and Fidesz's strategy of 'authoritarian re-embedding', which relies on 'institutional authoritarianism' and 'authoritarian populism'. This two-pronged approach has so far allowed the ruling party to stabilise illiberal hegemony, even in the face of reforms that have generated discontents and exacerbated social inequality.}, keywords = {Hungary; authoritarian populism; illiberalism; authoritarian re-embedding; countermovement}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1461-7242}, pages = {721-738} } @article{MTMT:32019049, title = {Authoritarian Neoliberalism, Radical Conservatism and Social Policy within the European Union.

In contrast, we call the post-2010 regime authoritarian populist as it has employed authoritarian political techniques while maintained popular legitimation through regular elections. To substantiate the difference between the two periods from an economic viewpoint, we compare pre- and post-2010 pension policies to find important differences as well as surprising similarities. In particular, we analysed the following five policy aspects: (a) reform and partial privatization of the government-run pension system, (b) policies on the statutory (normal) and the effective (average) pension age, (c) indexation, (d) progression in benefits calculations and progressivity in the personal income tax, and (e) contribution rates. Based on ideological preferences, we argue that one would expect the pension system to become financially more sustainable but less redistributive after 2010 in comparison to the preceding period.

Both countries went through a thorough restructuring process in the pre-2008 context. While this process has introduced and consolidated depoliticised forms of governing to a certain degree in both countries, we suggest that the latest crisis has contributed to the emergence of a politicisation process. In the Hungarian case, these processes are reflected in both discursive attempts and the instalment of visible centralised control over the management of money. In Turkey, intensifying discursive attempts to politicize monetary policy have not led to an explicit change in the formally depoliticised character of central banking until recently but politicised other policy areas. In both countries, the process has accompanied the entrenchment of increasingly oppressive discourse and practices as part of the overall management of the crisis-ridden capitalist social relations.

It argues that these trends add up to an authority and regime type that can be conceptualized by Weber's concept of plebiscitary leader democracy (PLD). PLD forms a new hybrid regime type that differs from comparative authoritarianism and other hybrid regime types known from the literature in three respects. First, PLD is less about institutional framework and procedures than about the sources of legitimacy; second, it serves better to understand how the regime works than measuring its distance from liberal democracy; third, it is an ideal type that aims to reveal the endogenous logic of democracy that generates authoritarian elements of the regime. The article also demonstrates the suitability of the concept of PLD for empirical research through presenting a structured case study of the Orban regime.

This article proposes a new typology of clientelism and tests two families of explanations for why candidates would choose to use state versus non-state brokers, and inducements versus coercion, as private incentives to voters. First, existing theory predicts that political conditions such as incumbency or co-partisanship with the national party should enable the use of public over private brokers and resources. In addition, we conjecture that clientelism carries programmatic signals, such that the choice between inducements and coercion depends on local political conditions. We test our predictions using a post-electoral survey fielded in 2014 in ninety rural Hungarian communities. We find little evidence that local political conditions are related to the choice between state versus non-state brokers, but significant support for the prediction that programmatic signals explain the choice between inducements and coercion.}, year = {2019}, eissn = {2151-6227}, pages = {449-+} } @article{MTMT:30637820, title = {The “ugly” face of social investment?

This article focuses on the ideational dimension behind the current illiberal backlash in Central and Eastern Europe. We ask how political conceptions critical of the Western liberal paradigm came about and what their main components are in Hungary, a country which is often seen as the avant-garde of the 'illiberal backsliding' in the region. The article shows that political illiberalism in Eastern Europe has intellectual underpinnings forged in conservative intellectual networks that have grown disillusioned with liberal democracy and neoliberalism long before the current illiberal political wave. Combining the reception of Western critiques of liberalism with a critique of post-communist liberals' perceived lack of willingness to break with the communist past, these intellectuals have slowly but continuously extended their networks and influence since the 1990s. Our analysis suggests that the contestation of liberalism is not reducible to political parties and instead should be approached as a broader phenomenon.}, keywords = {Hungary; neoliberalism; Ideational turn; conservatism; Illiberal democracy; post-communist Europe; intellectuals}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1466-4526}, pages = {811-828}, orcid-numbers = {Buzogany, Aron/0000-0002-9867-3742; Varga, Mihai/0000-0003-0278-7145} } @article{MTMT:27571182, title = {Bifurcation and Stratification in Post-Socialist Welfare Regimes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/27571182}, author = {Cox, Terry}, doi = {10.17356/ieejsp.v4i1.404}, journal-iso = {INTERSECTIONS (HU)}, journal = {INTERSECTIONS: EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIETY AND POLITICS}, volume = {4}, unique-id = {27571182}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2416-089X}, pages = {24-44} } @article{MTMT:3308289, title = {Narrative Identities and the Egalitarian Norm Among Hungarian Elite Couples}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3308289}, author = {Csurgó, Bernadett and Kristóf, Luca}, doi = {10.1177/0192513X17741175}, journal-iso = {J FAM ISSUES}, journal = {JOURNAL OF FAMILY ISSUES}, volume = {39}, unique-id = {3308289}, issn = {0192-513X}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1552-5481}, pages = {2107-2130} } @article{MTMT:30366593, title = {Neoliberalism, crisis and authoritarian–ethnicist reaction: The ascendancy of the Orbán regime}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30366593}, author = {Fabry, Adam}, doi = {10.1177/1024529418813834}, journal-iso = {COMP CHANGE}, journal = {COMPETITION AND CHANGE}, volume = {23}, unique-id = {30366593}, issn = {1024-5294}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1477-2221}, pages = {165-191}, orcid-numbers = {Fabry, Adam/0000-0001-9024-7370} } @article{MTMT:3350444, title = {The gendered modus operandi of the illiberal transformation in Hungary and Poland}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3350444}, author = {Grzebalska, W and Pető, Andrea}, doi = {10.1016/j.wsif.2017.12.001}, journal-iso = {WOMEN STUD INT FORUM}, journal = {WOMENS STUDIES INTERNATIONAL FORUM}, volume = {68}, unique-id = {3350444}, issn = {0277-5395}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1879-243X}, pages = {164-172}, orcid-numbers = {Pető, Andrea/0000-0002-7525-2582} } @article{MTMT:3356453, title = {‘You Would Eat It If You Were Hungry’.

First, by revealing the tension between conservative views about gender roles, and social and political specificities in the two countries, the research illustrates how various parties on the conservative right ideological continuum-from the center-right to right-wing populism-relate to the feminist project. Secondly, it analyzes how selected women politicians within this continuum negotiate their ideological beliefs about gender roles with their political career interests, by means of social media (Facebook). The analytical constructs of idealized motherhood and feminine toughness are employed to examine a period of intensive political campaigning in 2014 in both Hungary and Romania. The study triangulates the multi-layered discursive circumstances (the historical, contextual, and social media contexts) in Hungary and Romania, and maps out the similarities and differences that are disclosed when comparing the selected women politicians. The article makes a significant theoretical and empirical contribution to scholarship on gender and conservatism in particular and raises questions for the wider study of gender, politics, and social media in general.}, keywords = {WOMEN; gender; Eastern Europe; Politics; feminism; Facebook; Social media; conservatism; ideological continuum; right-wing populism}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2183-2463}, pages = {43-54}, orcid-numbers = {Norocel, Ov Cristian/0000-0002-7349-4000} } @article{MTMT:27571179, title = {Workers and the Radical Right in Poland}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/27571179}, author = {Ost, David}, doi = {10.1017/S0147547917000345}, journal-iso = {INT LABOR WORK-CLASS}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL LABOR AND WORKING-CLASS HISTORY}, volume = {93}, unique-id = {27571179}, issn = {0147-5479}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1471-6445}, pages = {113-124} } @article{MTMT:27147343, title = {Crisis of Capitalism and (De-)Politicisation of Monetary Policymaking: Reflections from Hungary and Turkey}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/27147343}, author = {Pınar, E Dönmez and Eva, J Zemandl}, journal-iso = {NEW POLIT ECON}, journal = {NEW POLITICAL ECONOMY}, volume = {Január}, unique-id = {27147343}, issn = {1356-3467}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1469-9923}, pages = {1-1} } @article{MTMT:30366516, title = {Reversing gender policy progress: patterns of backsliding in Central and Eastern European new democracies}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30366516}, author = {Roggeband, Conny and Krizsán, Andrea}, doi = {10.1332/251510818X15311219732356}, journal-iso = {EUR J POLIT GENDER}, journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF POLITICS AND GENDER}, volume = {1}, unique-id = {30366516}, issn = {2515-1088}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2515-1096}, pages = {367} } @misc{MTMT:30325986, title = {The Political Economy of Illiberalism.
