NAS Lecture Series: The Orbánization of the United States
PD Dr. Thomas Greven, John F. Kennedy Institute, Free University Berlin:
The Orbánization of the United States: Republican Strategies and the Transnational Networks of Radicalized Conservatives
Viktor Orbán’s “illiberal democracy” has become a model for the global radical right. At the Conservative Political Action (CPAC) conference in Washington, DC, in February of 2024, the Heritage Foundation presented its “Project 2025,” a blueprint for a second Trump administration that, if enacted, would essentially mean an “Orbánization” of the US. The Center for Fundamental Rights advertised for CPAC Budapest, which took place in April of 2024. How far-reaching is this transnational network of the radical right? While advising not to buy into the right’s narrative of a unified movement against “globalism” and “wokeism,” Dr. Greven shows how its
impact goes beyond photo-ops of narcissists like Trump and Orbán.
