Visual Framing and Politicization of Climate Change: The Case of Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion in Hungary
This paper addresses how the visual framing practices of the youth climate movement in Hungary challenge or reinforce post-political environmental discourse. Our analysis focuses on two social movement organizations that emerged in Hungary during the 2018–2019 global wave of climate activism: Fridays For Future Hungary (FFFH) and Extinction Rebellion Hungary (XRH), with particular attention to the forms, issue frames, and emotional frames they em…
A Chapter on Institutionalization: The Use and Misuse of Institutions of Citizen Participation in Hungary
The institutionalization of democratic innovations has been the focus of considerable debate in academic literature, particularly regarding whether it is necessary and, if so, what form it should optimally take. However, the present research—which uses the concept of institutions of citizen participation (ICPs) instead of democratic innovation due to its enhanced applicability in the present research context—goes one step further. Beyond the scru…
Diverse roles and perceptions of public officials and NGOs in local citizens’ assemblies – A comparative analysis of the cases of Poland and Hungary
This article explores the roles and perceptions of public officials and NGOs in climate-related citizens’ assemblies (CAs) organised at the local level in Poland and Hungary. Through in-depth interviews with these actors, we investigate how process design and their involvement shape their views on CAs. In a comparative analysis of two local cases in Poznań and Budapest, we apply Bussu and Fleuß (2023) framework to examine key differences in the i…
Conceptualizing and Measuring Support for Democracy: A New Approach
Much of what we know about public support for democracy is based on survey questions about “democracy,” a term that varies in meaning across countries and likely prompts uncritically supportive responses. This paper proposes a new approach to measuring support for democracy. We develop a battery of 17 survey questions that cover all eight components of liberal democracy as defined by the V-Dem project. We then ask respondents from 19 national sam…
Referendums as extended arms of the government: Evidence From an Illiberal Regime
Public support for referendums has been analysed extensively in established democracies, but the topic is investigated less in illiberal settings. This article aims to explain why citizens in an illiberal country (Hungary) support referendums. We argue that in such political regimes, referendums may serve as extended arms of the illiberal government rather than as providing people with direct access to decision-making. Our study uses individual-l…
Charter–manifesto congruence as a signal for issue salience: Democratic innovations within political parties in Hungary
This article proposes a proxy for issue salience via studying congruence between parties’ organizational structure and the policies they promote to their voters. This charter-manifesto congruence, i.e. institutionalizing the same democratic innovations at the intra-party level and advocating for their adoption at the national level, is particularly useful to demarcate party profiles in dominant party systems and electoral autocracies. To demonstr…
More than just an experiment? Politicians arguments behind introducing participatory budgeting in Budapest
As deliberative and participatory practices play a greater role in political decision-making of democratic political systems in many parts of the world, political parties must adapt to demands of an increasingly more cognitively mobilized citizenry. While there is a growing body of literature about the functioning of such procedures in different social and political contexts, little is known about politicians’ reasons behind introducing them. Bas…
Closer to Citizens or Ticking Boxes? Political Parties and Participatory Practices in Hungary
Political parties use participatory practices to connect with their members and with the broader electorate. While substantial research indicates how people get involved, very little is known about why political parties use participatory practices. The present article addresses this gap in the literature and seeks to identify the reasons parties do so. We elaborate an analytical framework that includes three main categories of explanations: party…
From Deliberation to Pure Mobilisation? The Case of National Consultations in Hungary
National or supranational consultations on general policy questions are unusual phenomena. Nevertheless, they seem to play an important role in the political life of the community either because they might be considered as rudimentary forms of deliberative practices or because they are important strategic tools in the hands of political actors. Given this salience of consultations from both normativedeliberative and descriptive-strategic perspec…
Moving online: Political parties and the internal use of digital tools in Hungary
The article reveals how Hungarian parties expand their members’ participatory repertoires in intra-party democracy with the help of information and communication technology. By answering the question of how Hungarian parties use digital tools for their internal procedures the article adds to the literature on parties’ use of technology. To make visible the promises and boundaries of online political participation in a post-communist country the a…
Using deliberation for partisan purposes: Evidence from the Hungarian National Consultation
The paper contributes to the field of party politics and the use of deliberative practices by analyzing how a Hungarian political party uses deliberation to its own advantage. Our focus is on the National Consultation, which was designed by the elite populist radical right party Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz-MPP) in 2005 as a deliberative practice to increase the party’s social embeddedness. The National Consultation became a governme…
