Hungary, Populism and the New Right

Summary/Abstract: Hungary has long been recognized as a leader in the international relations of the New Right, playing a key role in the formation of a global assemblage that combines western and non-western right-wing cultural populists into a loosely coherent movement. While riven by internal differences, as noted by Abrahamsen et al., populists of the New Right “revel in demonstrating friendships in public and via public diplomacy” (Abrahamsen et al., 2024). As a consequence, they argue, local contingencies and national ambiguities should not be allowed to obscure the fundamentally international character of these populist actors. Having said that, each national case within this loose international assemblage is important and reveals something specific about what is happening in the wider global movement. Indeed, some cases may be particularly illuminating of wider international dynamics.
