Populism and the European Culture Wars

The book examines the rising anti-populist sentiment as a reflection of diminishing trust in democracy and the public's capacity for responsible citizenship. It highlights the tension between the European Union's Commission and Hungary's government, revealing differing views on national and popular sovereignty. Additionally, it addresses the role of tradition and historical context in shaping the ongoing culture war in Europe, suggesting that liberal democracy may lack the emotional connection needed to foster citizen loyalty.
