The Generation that Built and Cut Down Democracy

What is happening in Hungary? How has a party of dissident young democrats become a vehicle for illiberal and semi-authoritarian rule, and what does this mean for contemporary politics in Europe?

Zsuzsanna Szelényi (@ZSzelenyi) is a Hungarian psychologist and politician.

Robin Archer is the Director of the Ralph Miliband Programme, LSE.

The Ralph Miliband Programme (@RMilibandLSE) is one of LSE's most prestigious lecture series and seeks to advance Ralph Miliband's spirit of free social inquiry.
