DESCRIPTION:Across Europe\, the rise of populist movements and concerns ab
 out democratic backsliding have raised fundamental questions about the res
 ilience of liberal institutions. Hungary has often stood at the centre of 
 this debate\, long seen as a case study of entrenched illiberal governance
 . Yet the recent landslide victory of Péter Magyar has reshaped the polit
 ical landscape\, suggesting that electoral change remains possible even in
  systems widely viewed as tilted. This discussion will examine what Hungar
 y’s experience reveals about the dynamics of populism\, the conditions u
 nder which democratic renewal can occur\, and what lessons can be drawn fo
 r safeguarding democratic norms across Europe.\n\nJason Xidias holds a PhD
  in European Politics from King's College London. He was also a visiting s
 cholar at the University of California\, Berkeley. Currently\, he lectures
  in Politics and Global Studies at New York University's Madrid campus. He
  is the author of several books with Routledge on key thinkers\, concepts\
 , and seminal works in political science.
