A MAGYAR RADIKÁLIS JOBBOLDALI KÉPVISELŐK KÉT GENERÁCIÓJA
TWO GENERATIONS OF THE HUNGARIAN RADICAL RIGHT MPS.A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MPS OF MIÉP AND JOBBIK

Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of the 1990s, the academic literature discussing the strengthening and the success of the radical right has been continuously expanding. The bulk of the research concentrates on parties that have achieved electoral success and in line with this they focus on voters and electoral behaviour. According to Herbert Kitschelt, besides books and journal articles that deal with terminological questions, the literature consists mainly of books and studies that try to understand the radical right’s success through demand-oriented approaches. So far research on the supply side has remained in the background; few researches have been carried out on the radical right parties themselves (Kistchelt 2007). An exception is Cas Mudde who has looked at these aspects in his book published in 2007. He examines the ideological profi le of the radical right parties, their manifestos, leadership style, organizational characteristics, international contacts, as well as the role of the female politicians (Mudde 2007).
