Abstract (may include machine translation)

The paper argues for an ideology-centred interpretation of the Orbán regime. Those regimes are considered ideology-centred that promote a particular worldview through discourse, consequential policies and the allocation of resources. In addition to demonstrating that Hungary after 2010 satisfies these criteria, I identify three principal ideological modules of the regime: illiberal conservatism, civilisationist ethnocentrism, and paternalist populism.
