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 “Orbán�ization” 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.
