What is the future of the Global Far Right in the light of the defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary’s elections last spring? Orbán’s brand of “illiberal democracy” served as widely-replicated inspiration for rightwing radicalisms around the world–how much life does this model still have left in it, in Europe, the Americas, and elsewhere? How was Orbán defeated? Does this event mark a turning point in the rise of the modern Far Right, or are its implications more local? Join us for a panel discussion about these questions.
