| Summary |
This book explores the emergence, and in Poland, Hungary, and Russia the coming to power, of politicians and political parties rejecting theconsensus around market reforms, democratization, and rule of law that has characterized moves toward an "open society" from the 1990s. It discusseshow over the last decade these political actors, together with variousthink tanks, intellectual circles, and religious actors, have increasinglypresented themselves as "conservatives," and outlines how these actors aredeveloping a new local brand of conservatism as a full-fledged ideologythat counters the perceived liberal overemphasis on individual rights andfreedom, and differs from the ideology of the established, present-dayconservative parties of Western Europe. Overall, the book argues that the"renaissance of conservatism" in these countries represents variations ona new, illiberal conservatism that aims to re-establish a strong state sovereignty defining and pursuing a national path of development |
