Abstract
Numerous attempts in the social science literature tried to capture the political essence and features of Hungary’s ‘illiberal’ regime but few aimed to analyse specific public policy fields in the illiberal democracy. This paper analyses the cultural policy of the Orbán regime as a case study. The focus is on ideology that legitimises power structures in the political system (Vestheim 2012a). With the help of a qualitative case study based on document analysis, I am looking for the popular ideology of postcommunist traditionalism legitimising managed illiberal democracy (Csillag & Szelényi). I analyse governmental policy making in culture on two interrelated levels: (1) attempts to rewrite the cultural canon (2) institutional and financial changes. . The results of my case study show that postcommunist traditionalism serves as a discursive framework for elite replacement and the redistribution of cultural positions and resources, contributing to the creation of a new, loyal elite for the managed illiberal political system
