As successive elections demonstrate the increasing confidence of the illiberal regime of Viktor Orb�n, left and liberal parties of the opposition have faced a prolonged crisis in credibility. At the same time, the civil society has not been immobile, and bottom-up initiatives, social and political movements, and non-governmental organizations have gained momentum in the public sphere. The ruling power is also active in the extra-parliamentary political arena. Through national consultations, Peace Marches, and other means, Orb�n's governing Fidesz party has mobilized voters outside of election campaigns and has implemented a so-called movement governance. The study offers a vivid examination of this top-down or astroturf mobilization of the regime. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMikecz identifies the different patterns of activism and creates a coherent typology. He describes in detail each kind of activism based on opinion surveys, protest surveys and content analysis. The categorization and comprehensive exploration of civil movements provide a deep understanding of the mechanisms of illiberal postcommunist regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46339298361495,"sku":"9789633866221","price":9214.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789633866221.webp?v=1767716480","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/civil-movements-in-an-illiberal-regime-political-activism-in-hungary-9789633866221","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
